I met Roiann and Don close to 40 years ago through the Haenflers - Andy being one of my closest friends. I spent many weekends in Arizona and Don and Roiann were frequently included in our activities. I was shocked to hear of their passing. I honestly feel I like I have lost a part of my own family. They always made me feel like I was a part of theirs.

Gramma and Grandpa, I will miss you so much. Thank you for loving me. I so wish you could've met my husband. He would have loved you as much as I do. I'm so sorry for not coming to see you sooner. I wish I could've seen you one last time. I love you both and I pray you're looking over me and Bri. 

Don, words can’t begin to express the deep grief and loss I feel at this time. You were the brother of brothers to me.   I’m glad I have so many great memories to reflect on with all the travels I did with you and Roiann.  I never would have seen as much of our beautiful country  if it weren’t for you….
I’m glad we shared so much life together and I look forward to spending eternity with you when our Heavenly Father calls me home. 

With great sympathy and deepest condolences to Don & Roiann's family, Bill & I share in wonderful, happy, joyous memories that we had with them @ their home in Show Low. Visits were warm & friendly. Loved watching their vacation & family photos play on the kitchen counter. They were truly a happy fun loving couple that loved life and traveling where ever they wanted, playing golf was a great sport they enjoyed. Most of all their joy in sharing the love they had for all the family was great and enjoyed the visits when family came up to Needles Creek. Two of the most wonderful, living people on this earth. Missing them deeply and always remember their goodness and kindness and friendship we shared together.                 Sincerely with love and prayers to all your precious family.                            Bill and Diane Abbott

I love you grandpa and grandma! I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to see you one last time. You’re forever in my heart. 

The family of Don and Roiann Silliman lost two very dear members,  the community of Needles Creek in ShowLow lost two great neighbors and the world lost two special, caring and loving people.  You will be missed!
