Iremember the night you took Chrissy and me to see the chritmas lights and they seemed so magical and we laughed andhad a lot of fun,  when Tom died you  and the rest of the family stayed with me up at the hospital so many times and offered to take me to the store and run errends for me. It was greatly appreciated.  I will miss you and pray you are with mom and dad and marlene and Muriel and in a better place in heaven.  I love and miss you.  Your sister Margie.

Don you were a very important part of my life. You were the very great man. We once had a conversation that ended up hours & hours long about how your family growing up with my Mother's family the Opsahl's. You were a house away. How we grew up in the same neighborhood. Places we remembered lasted for hours on end. I miss coming over to see you. You were my favorite people. I know now you are in a better place with our Lord & someday we shall meet again. I LOVE YOU DON....BIG DADDY SKIDS

Big D a man I had the pleasure of meeting on my journey thru life. He will live in my memory. Rest in peace my friend.


Late one night in 2004 
I met my buddy, Don Skidmore
From that day on, the bond was clear
Our friendship grew with every year.

To me, he was the Castle's King....
Not bothered by the slightest thing.
He knew a lot about that & this,
So much about him I will miss.

I don't care what anyone says
The best of times were on the Rez!
MR. WIN BIG (yup, that's his name)
Without YOU here.Won't be the same!

I'll make a wish upon your star,
And keep you close (though you seem far)

Whether on the Yellow Brick Road,
To the East or To the West, 
You're forever in my heart,
And in my treasure chest.

Missing you, now & always.
Love, Lori
