Penny and Bryanne,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Doug has made EMS what it is in York County. When I think of all the great providers I was lucky enough to work with, Doug is always one of the top names on the list. I'm thinking about you both as well as all the other family and friends that are hurting right now.
