Yesterday

It is with sad yet, loving feelings that I am thinking about you, the Stavens family!
I loved spending time out East, in my early 20s , with you guys living in Ellington, Connecticut !
Not only when Rosalie & Don could make it to visit Ames, Iowa did I get to know what a joy you both were, to be around! Then years later, Mark & I (along with Matt and Lizzie Ditman) got to visit you in Scottsdale Arizona, and oh what a joy that was, too! Dar always had the greatest support of Don (and you , Rosalie); like the time she ventured away (far away) from home @18 years old! Thank God, she did and a double Thank God that she pledged Gamma Phi Beta at the same time I did!!

Don is going to be missed and I know that Rosalie, the event of your and Don´s celebrating yet another anniversary is
something to be proud of and no doubt,
#65th year anniversary will be very difficult this year!! Praying for you to treasure the best memories of your lives together (keeping them close to your heart, forever)

I love you and your family !
Hugs,
Di
