Virginia,
I cannot believe it has been a year since Doug's passing. I think of you often.
Maybe if Covid ever passes, we could get together for lunch.
Love,
Ann Fields (Marion Diehl's water aerobics class.)

Dear Daddy, I think of you every single day. Missing your voice, our laughs, (your laugh was simply priceless) our time spent, how you were so excited to see us come through the door. I look at pictures of you and I can just imagine your voice and what you would say. You were my very first HERO! You were everything and I miss you so much! We are doing just okay. And know that Spencer is still making you proud! I love you forever! Your twin forever!

My name is Crystal from Awards North & I just found out today about the passing of this dear man known to me as “Rufus”. He was more than just a customer to me. He was a friend. We shared many wonderful conversations and I remember him praying with me for my daughter in a parking lot (we always met in a parking lot to get his awards :) ). This left such an impression on me. He was a kind and considerate man and I will greatly miss our yearly conversations. I’m so glad I was privileged enough to know him and his dear love for his family, friends, church, community and his Fraternity! Rest In Peace Rufus I know you are walking on those streets of gold.
