Martha, Cheryl, Tabby, Jon, & Robert...we are so sad about the passing and you know how much we loved Doyle. Hes such a great man and I know without a doubt that hes in heaven. He told Chantel and I the last time we saw him that he was ready to go home and that he would be at the gates waiting for us when we get home to see him! Hes at the gates of Heaven and will know when any of us that love him also are called home! We love you all so much. Linda, Mike, and girls
