It seems strange that 2 of the leinen cousins are gone so soon. I remember the days at grandmas farm at the lake and the family reunion that Doug couldn't make in the poconos years ago. We had my sisters sewing mannequin with Doug's picture as the head. It was in all the pictures that weekend. Perhaps Doug and JG can start a yuker tournament in heaven.

It just doesn't seem possible... Wasn't it just yesterday we were goofing around with your brothers, sister, Aunt Jeane and Uncle Jack? You taught me how to throw a boomerang in your back yard when we were both about 10 years old. Way too soon, cousin. love, Kevin

Doug and to his family, This is your cousin Melanie Smith Shelton. I will miss you and even though I have not seen you over 40 years. The last I remember you was at our family reunion at Grandma's Farm. You could not make at the Leinen Family reunion in 1981. I have many fond memories of us playing in the back yard when we were kids. My prayers is with Aunt Jeanne, Ray and Laura and Doug's family. Melanie
