You are gone, but never forgotten, Doug. Those you left behind will truly miss you. Those you rejoined are singing praises...it's good to know that you'll be there to sing to me when my time comes.

Love,

Your cousin, Terrie

I think the most amazing thing we witnessed through this lost of a family member was brothers and sisters united in love for one another. The bond you each have with each other is a blessing most families donot share. God Bless each of you and it is comforting to know you have each other to lean on. We love you and you have wonderful memories that no one can take from you. Now smile, because Doug is smiling down on you! Love Uncle Luke and Aunt Dottie
