Our deepest sympathy to Marge and the family. We were so blessed to have know Doug and called him our friend. When we came to Fincastle Baptist in 2004, Doug and Marge embraced us and made us feel so welcome. Many a Sunday we sat in front of them at church and joked about Doug making us behave during church. Doug was a wonderful Christian man and he will be greatly missed. Doug, we look forward to the day when we will meet again. Love and prayers to you all.
