During the 20 years that Carolyn did my hair she become a dear friend of mine and I enjoyed watching her children grow up. I looked forward to my appointments with her so we could visit while she made me look better. I truly loved her as a friend and have thought about her and her family often. since she retired even though I have only seen her now and then since then. While I will not be able to attend her service tomorrow, I send my love to Don and the family and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Cherilyn

My heartfelt sympathy to you, Don. I never met your wife but you and I knew each other back in the grade school Junior High days when you lived in the east end of Boise. I don’t believe you were a member of the church then. I ran across you one time in the Goddard LDS chapel when I was living in Boise, sometime between 1970 and 1983. Sounds like you’ve had a good life together!
