We have truly lost a great man. He was a great boss & friend. My family will greatly miss him and will certainly keep his family in our prayers. One thing I do know about Doug is he loved his hunting and fishing but nothing made him smile that beautiful smile more than when he talked about his wife and daughter with us at Seminoles. He will always be with us in spirit and memory. Doug, make sure to meet us at those pearly gates with that beautiful smile, wearing those famous blue jean overalls and riding that muddy 4 wheeler. God keep his family in your arms and see that they are safe. May god bless you in every way in your time of loss.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Know that many people are here to support you all, especially through prayers and love. It is the love of God's people that will help to bring healing. Know that the Father is supporting you through this season of your life. Allow the love and His presence to surround you and carry you through this time. I know you all are women of God, press in and He will substain you. Run to the arms of His word and He will lift you up. This is one of the scriptures that gave me comfort when I needed Him most to carry me and to build my faith and trust evermore in Him......Cast your burdens
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. Psalm 40:1-3

With sincere love,

Mitzie
