Not sure what to say?

When I first started to date Jennifer and also meet Doug that was in 1999. That is when I first started to get to know him. Jennifer and I decided to get married in 2000. Doug was one of my best men in our wedding. He was always trying to update everyone on how computers were the way of the future and video games were getting more graphics in their programs. No matter what subject it was, Doug had more current information on the subject than what you thought, which he was more willing to...

Jen and Greg and Family
We are so sorry. It is so hard to know what to say to you. My heart is so sad for the hurt you are all feeling. Doug was way too young to be taken from you. But we know its not our decision. It is true what you said at the funeral. There are no such things as accidents. God has bigger and better plans for Doug. I know you know that. I just wish we could comfort you somehow.
Just let the tears flow as you remember all the wonderful memories of Doug. God had...

Jennifer, My heart goes out to you and your family as you cope with the loss of your son, Douglas. May you find the much needed strength from family and friends during this most difficult time.

I could not find the right words yesterday at the service. I am terribly sorry for the loss this family is suffering. I know there will be tough times ahead, but when they come, remember Doug isn't gone as long as you are carrying him in your hearts.

God never gives us more than we can handle. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake. I believe that He puts us here for a reason and when our 'job' is finished, He takes us home.

Maybe part of Douglas' job...

Hello,

You all have been on my mind all week. I'm still blown away that Doug is no longer with us. I'm sending you all wishes for peace and lots of love energy. Hugs to you all.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't know Douglas personally, but I knew of him. I will keep your family in your prayers.

For all of you,

We are so sorry for your loss, may you have strength and courage in your days ahead.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Doug was a great guy, he will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

When I first heard of your loss I couldn't believe it. It really opens your eyes when something tragic happens to someone you knew. I use to baby-sit Doug at a daycare in Sparta. His imagination was enough to drive anyone wild. He had a great laugh and love for life. I assume he carried this out as he grew into a young adult. He seemed to never let anyone really get his spirits down. my heart goes out to all of his friends and family in your time of need. I will keep you in my...
