Not sure what to say?

My brother left us one year ago but his memory will live on forever. Doug has his own way of reaching out and touching everyone's heart. My heart is so broken and the void in my heart can never be repaired. Sometimes I still hear his giggle or his "this is my sissster". Sometimes I see a truck that looked like his and I always look to see if he is driving it. Knowing that it's not him, but hoping. Sometimes he seems so close but yet so far away. Maybe this is his way of letting us know that...

You can't imagine how much we still miss you. It feels you were just here yesterday but an eternity ago at the same time. It still just doesn't feel right, with the weather getting warmer,the trees blooming,Derby right here and You, Frankie, and Andy not here!!! This time of the year used to be the best time of the year for all of us by far. It used to mean racetracks,derby parties and ALOT of beer drinkin'. You all definetly were the "life(s) of the party". I know you all are probably up...

Hi Doug,
It's been along time since I wrote in here but I have been in the hospital with pneumonia for almost two months. I have thought of of you quite often though, the other day I had to call Sheila and talk to her about you, oh how I miss you. Tiffany is always telling me she wants to go see you at the cemetery, Sheila is suppose to take her when she goes the nest time. Why cant you come back to us, this place is not the same without you and too many people are hurting over losing...

To Doug's Family,
Missing Doug is the easy part. Waiting for a phone call or a visit is the hard part. Sometimes you forget and just expect him to walk through the door and you realize this will not happen. I go through this often. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I can relate to what you are going through. Life without him will be different, sometimes sad, sometimes confused as to why this happened, sometimes angry, and just sometimes. Remember he is always in your heart.

Today is my brothers birthday and a very difficult day for all of us. Mom and Dad went to the cemetary, the first time for Dad. They are really having a bad time. On behalf of my brother I would like to thank everyone that came to the hospital and the funeral, and those that kept us close to their hearts and prayers. It's amazing how close our family really is when the times get tough. Doug was loved by many and that really showed. There is no way I could ever thank everyone enough. I don't...

It's been awhile since I have written because it really hurts. It doesn't mean that you are forgotten because that will never happen. My brother's memory will live on forever in my heart and nothing can ever take that away. Out of sight,out of mind, may work for some people, but that will never happen here. The holiday's are going to be rough without you cutting the turkey but I know you will be looking down and giving instructions.
Until we meet again, Love
