I still think of you so often, remembering all the fun and laughter you brought into our lives. You died too young but now are without pain, suffering and are eternally at peace. Miss you in our lives.

It's hard to believe a year has already come and gone. I will always have good thoughts of the memories and i'm sure as the years go by will continue to remember the good ole days. You did leave an imprint in my life even though we had lost touch.
With rememberence of the good days.

Missing the smile and laughter but I know that there are others that are enjoying it now...we just can't see it. So many thoughts of what could have been and should have been. Happy though that you are at peace.

Shirley, Muffy, Barb, and families
My heart goes out to you for our loss.
He's part of what I've become -- in being kids, in our troubles and our triumphs.
Sometimes it did come down to a smile and a sense of humor -- what I learned from him the most.
May you know God's peace,
Jim

When I think of Doug, I think of a kind and considerate person. Always there to help if you needed anything. His life will live on in the videos I captured of him and the memories of his big smile and laughter and humor of the good times we had. I will always consider him my brother in law. To his wife and family I express my deepest sympathy.

There are no words to express my feelings after hearing about Doug. He has and will always have a HUGE part of my heart. We shared so much together. His smile, laughter and sense of humor were like no other. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and please know I share in your loss. Fly high Doug - you left too soon but may you find that forever peace.
Always & Forever in my heart.

May Christ support us all the day long, til the shadows lengthen and the evening come, and the busy world is hushed and the fever of life is over and our work is done.
Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging and a holy rest and peace at the last.
