My Daddy Doug, words can't express how we feel right now and how if we could turn back the hands of time and have one more day with you then we would. I love you for being who you are and for being there for me and my family thru the bad and the good. Anytime I needed anything you was just a phone call away, you always had kind words to say and always seen the good in me and because of you I am who I am today, I Love you for being that Father that I always wanted.

Dear Donna and Family,
Thank you for the opportunity of meeting Doug and those who I did not know in this difficult time. I will treasure this and never forget. You did a great thing in your taking him home and taking care of him there. You did a great job. You did all of the right things. You did all that you could. Remember him and celebrate him in who he was, the role he played in each of your lives, and in the role within the family. That is what will live on. "To Live in the Hearts that Love Us is Not to Die". My heart is with you. Much love, Denise

My thoughts and prayers with the Fowler family. Even thought I have not seen Doug in over 20 years since we have left Food Lion, he was a fine colleague of mine. We had some great times together and I loved his down to earth nature. Hope you will remember Doug and the good times you had with him to ease your pain.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
