There is always something good in every experience. As we live this day that God has orchestrated for us, even in the Homegoing of Doug, memories of good times, fun times, family time and love - this is the "good" that give us strength for this day. My heart has been with you and will stay with you.

Janice and Deanna, Vacancy is an empty space filled with pain. The loss of a loved one is the greatest pain created by vacancy. Words are inadequate to express the sorrow we feel. So, let the Lord comfort you as only He can. Love and Prayers, Mom

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I am no able to travel to attend the service but wanted to express my condolences for Doug's passing. I just saw him a month ago while in Florida for Uncle Robert's passing. I am glad I had the opportunity to visit with him at that time.
