Mom found her dream house in Brigham City and dad gave all his support so she could have the house. He loved living in the house and was very proud of it.
Charles and Donna celebrated their sixty-third Wedding Anniversary in 2001. Charles and Donna demonstrated their love for each other every day and were great role models for their children. Dad worked very hard and sacrificed many things to take care of his family. He showed us all the value of hard work and what family means.
