Douglas Bond

My prayers go out to your entire family. I recently lost my grandfather (May 14, 2006) – I looked for comfort in the Bible. Recently I read a scripture that says that God is near to those that are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves (Psalms 34:18). I was so encouraged by the scripture and I hope you are too. My prayer is that you can find comfort in this time of great grief.

Dear Mrs. Bond, Tilly, and Doug,

I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Bond's death, but we know it was a homegoing for him. We lost our father eight years ago, and it looks as if we will soon have to say our final good-bys on this earth to our dear Mother, but it is because WE are sad because we miss them; yet we know they have moved on to a much better heavenly life. I have wonderful memories of my years at TBS. They gave me a great foundation for my life. You are all in my...

Mrs. Bond, Tilly, & Doug,

I was saddened to hear of Mr. Bond's home going. Unfortuately I heard the news too late to attend his memorial service. TBS had an incredible impact on my life. My years there gave my faith a sound foundation. I am eternally grateful for the vision Mr. Bond had for Christian education.

To all of Doug's family: I knew him as a teen ager, Youth from Kelso Nazarene Church. Was sad to hear of his passing. We as a group had such memories and not long ago had a reunion 1995. I just wanted to let you know It was a good thing, to have known him and the Bond kids back then.. 1950's.. I would love to hear from Shanny. Condolences to you all.

Memories of Dr. Bond are at the beginnings of my memories of TBS.
My children in his office, for discipline, for saying their memory verses, for much needed counseling. A loving authority and presence in the halls of TBS. I feel a deep loss in Dr. Bond's death. I last saw Dr.and Mrs. Bond at the Olympia Bible Presbyterian Church. I watched him play with his granddaughter and enjoyed the sight. Remember the joy he took in all things good, and the wonderful times you had with...

Dear Mrs. Bond, Tilly, Doug and family,

"Serve the Lord with Gladness" is appropriate to describe the life of a man who greatly influenced my life, and as a man of character, integrity and conviction, I have a deep respect for him. His teaching and example were, and continue to impact my life, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been taught, mentored, challenged, encouraged by him as my teacher, employer and friend. My family and I are praying for each of you and...

We have many fond memories of Doug from our teenage years of the late 1940s and early 1950s where we attended the Kelso Church of the Nazarene. We sang together in our Youth choir under the direction of Rev. Les Parrott. The quartet of Doug, Ron Miller, Ed Arnold and Ken Schaefer traveled around to sing at the nearby small churches.

We swam at Crystal Pool, sledded down Beacon Hill, did carpentry work with his Uncle Dave Hansen, and enjoyed many activities of our large teenage...

We were so sorry to hear and read of the "home going" of Dr. Bond. He was truly a Servant with a Servant's heart.
My wife and I are so thankful for Dr. Bond and you Mary Jane for taking such an interest in our children (Annette and Doug) while they were at TBS.
Dr. Bond's memory will linger in our hearts.
Please be encouraged to know many prayers are being said for you and your family. Grace and peace be yours in abundance at this time.

It was a privilege to have met and
fellowshiped with Dr. Bond when he and the TBS choir came to Tabernacle Baptist Church while I was teaching a Class. May the God of all comfort be yours at this time.
