To the Douglas family, sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his LOVE, PEACE, and STRENGTH in this time of sorrow. It's good that you have chosen to celebrate his life instead of his death. I member when my mom died and my aunt said to celebrate he life and her graduation. It took me a few months to understand what she was talking about. My mom had alot of life to member and celebrate and at times it was hard but there were times that it was easy to talk about her and memories, and then i understood the graduation part she had graduated to the best school there is " HEAVEN " she is with GOD and i am happy about that because she will live for eternity and no longer with pain in her legs or her heart, and i will see her again i know that in my heart. And that's the key to our healing the heart <3. We take one day at a time, and we laugh , we cry , and we member the love who has gone to a different school the best one there is in HEAVEN. May he R.I.P <3
