My sincere condolences to you, and family, on the passing of your husband Doug Williams. I will always remember Doug´s love of music and saxophone playing. I knew you both from American Legion, and attended a few parties, and listened to Doug perform. Doug was friendly with a beautiful smile. I am sorry for your loss. With Love and Prayers for Doug, and Family.
