Hi Dad,
I have your flag and will take good care of it. The flag represents to me what a great father you were and I am honored to receive it, every time I look at it I am reminded of your love and support you had for all of us. I dont believe anything was left unsaid and its comforting to know you must be in a better place. I will always love you and miss you with all my heart, rest in peace Dad.

your Danny Boy.

Mr. Doucette: May you rest in peace, knowing your time on earth was well spent. You raised an incredible family and your daughter (my sister in law) Denise is a shining example of a truly kind and pure hearted woman. She has brought so much to our lives, and we thank you and Becky for bringing her to us. We are forever in your debt. With love and respect, Lorraine

The Doucette family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Roy was a wonderful person and a true friend. I have so many good memories of Roy. We ran thousands of miles together including the 1998 "Freds Instead" marathon. I really enjoyed spending time with Roy. Roys passion for life and the things he believed in have made me a better person. I have no doubt Roy got an express pass to heaven.

You touched my families lives as a father, father-in-law and grandfather. Your life was taken much too soon. I will always remember your passion, dedication, commitment and perseverance in everything you did. Your passion for running was such an inspiration to all of us and we knew how much it meant to you. I've know you for 25 years, through good and difficult times. I have always admired your loyalty and determination towards your family.

As time moves forward, it is comforting to know, that you have touched many lives and we are better people because of you.

With great respect and sympathy, your son-in-law Stephen.
