I can not begin to express what a huge contribution the Doffing kids made to my life back when a favourite neighbourhood past times included building jalopies to race down the hill at the old creek or playing basketball in the Doffing's back yard. My heart is with the family as they work to deal with this loss. God Bless each and everyone of you.

You never complained and always built me up. You had a huge smile and endless laughs. This is simply too soon for us who are left behind. I know you have some good friends and family waiting for you. Enjoy your box seats for a Miami game.
