Sometimes we don't know what to say to someone who has lost someone dear to them. Just know that you can find comfort in the God of all comfort. You can pour out all your troubles and He will prove to be a strong tower for you.

As a hack golfer, I always enjoyed playing golf at Jekyll Island with Doug. I could always count on him to laugh at my jokes. Looking forward to playing a round in heaven with Doug where "gimmes" are always given. My prayers go to all family members during this difficult time.
