Tracie and family--- You are in my thoughts and prayers, I have fond memories with your family, from babysitting your girls, to going to crabber games with Dougie, Momma Dee and little Curtis, super bowl parties at your house to Doug putting headers on my 71 charger at Pep boys, and then joking that my car fell off the lift. It all started with you cutting my hair at bradlees--- remember? I will cherish those memories. Know that I am always here for you. love ya!

Tracie, I am sending prayers for all of you. I know I've lost touch with you; but I think of you all often. I really appreciate your friendship from the past and I hope when you are able that we can reconnect. I loved working with Doug at MontgomeryWard. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Tracie and family. Doug was a great friend and would do anything to help. He was loved by all the kids he came in contact with, mainly for the golf cart!!! Not really. Let Dawn and I know if we can do anything for you guys. He will be truly missed. He was the ultimate Crabber fan.
