Thinking of you Cissy and Douglas' family. May God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. I am thankful for the many years I knew Douglas and all the many wonderful memories that were made with him. He will truly leave an emptiness in my heart. Go rest high on that mountain Douglas. With much love, Debie
