Not sure what to say?

Dear Melinda, Both you and your beloved husband were most courageous and vulnerable with all of us here in your community to share such a deeply touching story. I know how ardently you have advocated for animals and to know that you had a kind man to share your that devotion moved me deeply. This entire story is beatiful and touched my heart. I hope you know what a strong, brave, caring, intelligent woman you are. Thank you for sharing yourself and this love story with all of us. May the...

I didn't know Doug! I'm crying after reading this! I've been in Sacromento for a year and a half! Shocked by the nichrologist! What a pity that such kind people are leaving! Melinda I wish you patience and strength! Best regards, Margarita

This is a wonderful obituary that brought me to tears. Melinda, I urge you to get in touch with some of the wonderful women in the Agent Orange widow's groups on Facebook. My stepfather was in Vietnam as a civilian contractor, and although I am not a widow, the devastation of AO has certainly not escaped me. We lost him at age 56- far too young!! And so it has been with Doug, but he will never leave you. I am certain of that. Love from Evelynne D.

This story touched me deeply. Sending strength your way Melinda.

Thank you for sharing . Very inspiring. Thank you both for all you have done throughout your life. Your truly a hero . Thank you for your service . Melinda sounds like an angel on earth as you are now in heaven.

Doug Dahl, I learned of you this very day as I received this heartfelt obituary from Melinda. I read it to my wife, also named Melinda. I am moved by your life, Doug, and what you and Melinda shared together, with the Shriners and children and with pets who gladdened their days. Thanks for having the wisdom to be born Doug so this blue orb could know your heart.

Did not really know Doug other than servicing their computers. He passed too early and wish the best for Melinda. Love the photo with the Shriner's dog and the two of them. My sympathy for the Family and wishes that they will remember those best moments in life in their hearts.
