flowers and many gifts of food. Don
touched many lives here in Vernonia
and he will be missed by many, yet,
his memory will live on in our hearts

Vernonia, he came to love this little
town and its people. He loved his
Rising River Ranch and his Adult

place his heart called home. The show
of care and support shown us by our
friends.during this difficult time have
given us the courage and inspiration
to continue the business of Rising Riv

we will do our best to make Don
proud.
We would especially like to thank
our very special friend, Jennie Siedel-
man and the family of Ramona Shirley

ing this ordeal. We would also like to
extend a special thark you to St.

Bless you.
