Douglas Raymond Glynn

Dear Marsha ,Ray and Rob,
My heart goes out to each of you at this difficult time. I just heard today of Douglas' passing. I have many wonderful memories of days spent together so many years ago. I have often thought and wondered about each of you. Even when he was little, Douglas was special, and what a joy to hear of the many lives he touched. It started with mine!
Please know you're in my thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Karen Casker

Dear Marsha and Ray,

Only this week we heard of Doug's passing. Bill and I are devasted over your loss.

As I read this guest book I have a picture of the adolescent Doug -- kind and funny and loving. He certainly brought joy to you and many others. Of course, our memories of Doug are of the little boy with the big blue eyes and blond hair. He was a spirited little guy full of activity and enthusiasm and love. I remember so well your pride in him.

Doug and Robbie and Hannah spent nearly every day of their first few years together. I am looking through old photographs now of Hannah and Doug in the bathtub together, in Karen's arms, sharing a chair, even one of Hannah holding the new born Douglas. So, of course, I am crying for your loss.

Please know that our prayers are with you and Robbie. May time bring joy again.

Much love,
Mary and Bill Waight

Hello My Friends,

Ray, Rob and I had a quiet Easter. We had a delicious dinner and cheesecake for desert. I have really missed Doug the last few days. I thought I was doing so good because I wasn't crying every day but when the memories or lonliness returns it does so with a vengence. Doug is never far away and he is a constant part of me in my heart. I wish I could see that he is okay but all I have is my faith that God is taking care of him. Please continue to write us and keep in touch. We love all of you for being there for us in our darkest hours. Take care and God Bless you all.

Love, Marsha

Hello everyone, just thought I would check the guest book to see who was there. I check it often and think of our Douglas each and every day. Doug you are with us all in our hearts and will always be. We miss you and your smiling face. When the wind blows I feel your presents and wonder what and how you are. May God take care of you always! Watch over your parents and Rob ...they need you !!

Hello Everyone,
Just a message to let you know that I appreciate all the letters and messages you have been writing on this website. Ray and I and Rob are starting over and building our new family setting here in Round Rock. We miss Doug and he is never out of my thoughts and prayers. It will soon be 7 weeks since he left us to join God in heaven. Time for me seemed to slow down after Jan. 11. I don't think life will ever have the same meaning for me. Please keep writing us. Ray and I check our email and this website often. We love you,

Marsha

Glynn's: My thoughts are with you. I really look forward to seeing you this summer in the Berkshires. I have many fond memories of Doug from CO.

Dear Friends and Family,
Ray, Rob and I are finally together in our new home near Austin. We are adjusting and making it through each hour of each day without our precious Doug. There are so many things that remind us of Doug. For example, Ray loves to cook and each night when I set the table, it doesn't seem right to not set Doug's placemat on the table. Just today I went to our local grocery store and the store had out all the Valentines and candy. It has been a tradition for me to give candy and lots of love to the three men in my life - now I only have two to plan for this year. It's the little things that give me cause to shed a few more tears, opening a drawer with his clothes folded nicely or hearing a song that he loved or just seeing an eagle fly high in the sky. I doubt that life will ever have the same joy it had for me before Jan.11, 2007. I know that grief is different for every person. For me it is a constant dull pain and my body seems to be zaped of energy. Hopefully, time will help these memories I have now become sweeter and even more precious as the years pass. I loved Doug with the deepest love God has and only a mother knows. He was my shining star. Now when I look to the heavens, I think of him in heaven helping God. I pray every day that he watches over Ray, Rob and me. I love you son, now and forever.

Mom

Dear Marcia, Ray, and Rob,

Dustin and I were so saddened to learn of Doug's passing. I have such hilarious memories of Doug and Dustin romping through my house and yard. Doug would come into the house shouting, "What it do!" and the hilarity would ensue from there. I remember him running and jumping into my arms wrapping his arms and legs around me (at 14 years old) and shouting, "I love you Mama!". Those two boys did some crazy things together, some of which I caught, and some I did not. Doug was a bright spot in our lives for a long time. My heart breaks for all of you and for what he went through before his death. Doug definitely LIVED every moment that he was given. I feel so blessed to have been able to share some of them with him.

Our love and sympathy, Ginny and Dustin Judson.

Dear Marsha Ray and Rob, The days since the death of Doug have been filled with family, faith and friends asking WHY.... Know that God has a reason and a plan. We who are left behind may not understand His plan but I know that He does know best. We only need to trust in His judgement and know we will one day know His plan for us and thaat Doug's work on earth is done.Love to you always, Uncle Tracy and Aunt Nancy

Dear Marsha,

We both loved Doug so incredibly much. As you know Doug meant the world to me and I loved him more than anything. He was my bestfriend and also he was very much like a brother to me. My Mom also loved Doug very much. Doug was such a blessing to me, when i was with him a frown was never around. He would always find a way to make me laugh. If i were to be crying he would say Erin why are you crying that boy is not worth it. And then he'd tickle me to death. He was somthing else, I remember when my mom let him drive her car down the block and he of course floored it and went way over the speed limit and my mom screamed and he loved every minute of it. And then there was the time we got stuck mudding when he had his truck, Doug being lazy pushed the peddle why i pushed the truck. But i threw him in the mudd so i got im back. Doug meant the world to me. And I miss him more than anything and I just try to get by. Everyday when i feel im going to break down i hear "Erin why are you crying, stop crying, im alright" just like i know he would say if he were here. Marsha, you know Doug would never want to see us down. So we are going to get through this. He always wanted everyone to be happy. Exspecially you, because knowing Doug if he were to see you cry he would cry too.Hes smileing down on you and he is your guardian angel. My Mom sends her love. Keep a smile on your face like Doug would if he were here.
Lots of Love,
Erin

you was a good person you made alot of people smile.everyone will miss you and keep you and your family in prayer

I decided keep this guestbook going so that people can write messages and share their memories of Doug.

Doug we miss you and love you.

Mr. and Mrs. Glynn,
You had an amazing son that made me smile everyday! I miss the way he used to come up to me at school with his big smile on his face! I hope that some day I can tell you the crazy things me and Doug used to do! and Doug you know I LOVED YOU!

Doug i will always miss you.
I was with you almost every single day since the 1st day that were started dating. We were so perfect. Every moment i spent with you was just pure happiness. We both act just alike so it was so easy for us to get along. I still can't believe this is true. I am happy for you that you are in a better place, I just can't wait till i'm up there with you. Well you know that you will always be in my heart and there's never going to be a day that I don't think about you. I love you Douglas Raymond Glynn.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Glynn,

You both know how much Doug meant to not only me, but all of his friends. He was a great person, funny, slightly (but in a good way) insane, and full of life. He was a great friend to me, and I'm truely going to miss him. I am extremely glad that I was blessed to have met him and to have known him to the extent that I did. I'm also very blessed to have met the both of you. I hope that y'all keep in touch with me. I have many stories of Doug that I'm sure you'ld love to hear. He was a great person, and will be missed dearly by many.

I am the grandmother of Chase Wier and Will Hyde. For 2 years on Wednesday nights, I would cook supper for that group of teens before they went to youth group at Grace Bible Church. Doug was the one who made you laugh the hardest and the one that could touch your heart with his caring. He loved his friends.

No matter where I ran into him, he would hug me. That boy could charm the birds out of the trees. He always had a smile and was ready to chat about anything.

He was loaded with personality and potential. My heart breaks for you at his loss.

We were all blessed to have known him for even a short while. May God grant your family the comfort that you need with the loss of this loving young man.

For us, the world is a little dimmer knowing that his light will not shine again. The relfections of Doug will be remembered by all of us.

Doug pretty much taught me how to get in trouble. Not that's a bad thing. We had a blast together. Every office referal I have was because of our horseplaying in Spanish class. He pierced my ears a third time, and they got infected like 3 days later. We had good times. There is no doubt about it that he will be missed.

i love you Doug and i will miss you.

Dearest Glynn Family,
The world is full of bright stars. Doug was a blazing comet among them. His personality and energy made him shine. We are so thankful that for a time he shined in our lives. Never did he walk through the door of our home and not bring with him a love of life that was contagious. Those are the memories we will always carry of Doug. He won't be forgotten. May the memory of good days bring comfort and peace to your family.
The Wier Family

Marsha, Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. Just rely on God and He will be your source of strength in the days ahead. Love you!
