To the Joyce family:
What can be said about a life ended much too soon. We are very saddened to hear of your loss.
We will remember Doug as a "good guy" who worked with Frank & who brought a roto-tiller to the house to get the ground ready for mom's garden. We will never forget how happy that made mom! We thank him for that.
May you be comforted by the knowledge that our thoughts & prayers are with all of you today & for a long time to come.
May he rest in peace in God's love.
