I am so grateful for a father who taught me what was most important! He spent his life serving others, and loving his family, and showing us an example of a servant of Christ. I love my dad’s passion for temple work! I remember his excitement when he told me about the hundreds of names they had found in Italy, and all of those ancestors on the other side that would be able to get their temple work done. I loved watching him in the Salt Lake Temple when he and my mother served there together. I have many sacred memories and I will cherish them forever. My father always made me feel like I was the most important one in the room, and I know all of us children felt that way. He had a gift of helping me see my strengths, and inspiring me to do more and to be more. My dad had a passion for nature, and never wasted a moment to celebrate the beauty that surrounded him. He had a squirrel at his house, that would come visit him in his office window, he nicknamed him “Lightning”. I remember driving up to the Alpine Loop, Cascade Springs, each year and he carried on the tradition with my mother even up until last October to see the beautiful fall colors. He never missed church, or working at the temple, and if he did, he was really sick and or couldn’t move. My dad’s commitment to serving the Lord was an inspiration. I love you so much Dad and I know I will see again!

What I love about Grandpa was that he knew all the tricks that I did on the Trampoline, and always made me feel good about myself. I loved how well he could whistle and wiggle his ears and do all of his magic tricks. He was and still is amazing.🥰. I love him so much.

Dear Annette,

We were so sorry to read of Loren's passing. Although our friendship was birthed in a short six week European educational trip, our memories of you and our time together will never be forgotten. Our adventure in Rome with luggage lost for four days has forever painted a picture in our minds of a seven month pregnant Annette in a lovely polyester dress.

We developed so much respect for you and Loren during that time. Your righteousness and dedication to things spiritual were so easily observed. It appears from other tributes that as a couple you have achieved every high marks where it counts.

Our oldest daughter, Stacie, passed away February 4, 2019 from pancreatic cancer. We have missed her so much. Perhaps she and Loren have met already and shared a few stories. We ask the Lord to bless you and your family during this difficult time and forever.

Dear Annette: What a great life of service the two of you have lived. How sweet the experiences we shared together in Nauvoo. It was neat to play ball with Loren--he could still shoot well in his late fifties. I thought I was doing well if I could just hit the net at sixty-eight when I ruptured my achillies tendon one morning. Who was on the spot to help give me a blessing? Yes, a fellow member of the Taylor clan by the name of Loren who had experienced the same injury years earlier. And then there were the sweet, sacred musical experiences that we will always hold dear, including the privilege of singing a duet with you, Annette. How we look forward to once again meeting beyond the veil with the greeting, "It;s so good to see you again." In the meantime, may the Lord's blessing be with you and your great family. We love and honor the two of you. Your friends, Glen and Marvetta Saunders

I had the privilege of serving under President Burton in the Naga Philippines mission. I will never forget his kindness and his example of Christlike leadership. During that time he had the difficult task of informing me of the suicide of my best friend back home, and the love and compassion he showed at that time will always stay with me to this day as an example of how the Savior would treat all of us who mourn. I was so happy and honored to have him perform our temple sealing, and he really helped make the ceremony an amazing memory that I will cherish forever. I really hope to be able to emulate his example of service, charity, humor, and familial bonds. My prayers will be with you as you say goodbye to this wonderful man.

Dear Annette and family: My prayers are with you at this difficult time. Loren's service was outstanding with his children paying such wonderful tributes to their wise and loving father. He was an example to us all and helped many of us follow his example. I especially loved teaching the youth Sunday School with him for four years. I believe I learned as much as anyone during those remarkable lessons. He was my foremost mentor. May the Lord bless your family forever.

We were so sorry to learn of your loss, Annette. Please give our love to your family and feel our caring spirits around you. After teaching some, if not all your children either in school or church I have felt you were all a part of our lives. If you need any thing day or night we are right around the corner and can be there. Love the Zitos.
