Donald, Big Brother, I will deeply miss you. You will always be my hero. I hope your children know what a devoted, loving father you were and some day realize the sacrifices you made in your life for them. The late night phone conversations we had will be so greatly missed.



The services for Donald were held on October 18, 2:00 p.m. at Walker Sanderson Mortuary in Orem. It was a small service with family and friends, like Donald would have wanted. He was layed to rest at Orem City Cemetary next to Mom, Dad, Debbie and Pam.

Love you always Big Brother, unconditional. Give Mom, Dad, Debbie and Pam my love.

Hugs

Gene, Can't believe you are already on the other side with your parents and sisters! You will be missed by many. I have wonderful, fond memories of our youth. Every summer our family made the treck from California to Utah to visit our relatives. I stayed at your house. I have many fond memories of having fun with you and David and your sweet sisters. Where have the years gone?! Remember, Families are forever! LUV, your cousin
