Geri, Michael, Mikaela, Madison, Baylee, and Brodie== I ache with you at the loss you've had this week; yet can take comfort in knowing that Don did say the prayer of salvation just 10 days before he went to meet His Savior. Geri, you've done a phenomenal job these past couple of years and you gave your kids more time with their Daddy. Mikaela, thanks for being such a huge help to your mom during that time. Maddie,Baylee,and Brodie thanks for the joy and smiles you brought to your Daddy in his last years. I have great confidence that our Lord and God will be your comfort, strength, and guide in the days and years ahead. I praise Him for His goodness and the plan He has for you.

Don... or Batman as we called him was a wonderful person who always had a contagious smile, great sense of humor and a huge heart. He will forever be missed here at Denny's in Chico. We lost not only a coworker but a wonderful and irreplacable friend. We love you Batman. I want to extend my condolences to his wonderful and strong family that stood by his side through thick and thin. You are all in my prayers.
Love
