Hard to believe that it has been six years since you left us buddy! I hear things about how great your son is doing and I know so how proud that you would be of him Doug. I have a great picture in my office of you holding my first son some seven years ago, I look at it often and it reminds me of all the fun we had. Your name comes up so much in social circles, you are dearly missed. I still miss you dearly buddy!!

I would see Doug about twice a year these days, and it still felt like we never lost that bond that we had as childhood friends. I will keep those memories in my heart until we meet again my friend. May you be at peace and may God watch over your son. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It is virtually impossible to think of Doug Creecy without smiling. His charm was like no other person I have ever met. The true definition of a Southern Gentleman. Although Virginia Beach is saddened by your departure, Heaven sure just got a whole lot cooler. I cherish all the times we had. RIP Old Friend, I love and miss you very much.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Most of us put off vacations, family time and simple gestures such as "I love you," thinking there's always tomorrow. Doug's premature death has reminded us that tomorrow is never guaranteed, so live each day to it's fullest. My heart goes out to the Creecy family during this difficult time, may your warm memories be the ray of sunshine during this dark hour.
