I remember Nolan well from our 1952-52 Phyllis Wheatley Football days. I'm sure he's had a good and warm life with family and friends during all these years. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet again before he passed. May his spirit rest in peace.

Dear cousins,
Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel about the passing on of Doug. Although our hearts are heavy with the prospect of carrying on without our beloved brother, father, uncle, cousin, and/or friend; all that is left for us is to try to reflect on the fond memories of the fun times spent together as family. Please know that I am here to talk and comfort any day, and any time. Let me know if there is anything that I can do...
Love eternally,

" Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Thoughts and prayers go out to the Chambers family. Peace be with you all.
