Aunty Shella and Family,

Uncle Doug will forever have a special spot in my heart, he always made me laugh, but more importantly I always loved the way you both looked at eachother. I hope to live with love and laughter the way he did.

May you find comfort in the arms of your family and my Mom whom I know will be there for you no matter what. Please if there is anything we can do, ask.

Love so Much,
Tanya, Geoff, Cailyn and Shaye

Shella and family,
My heart is filled with love for you all and sorrow for your loss. Doug was a family icon that will live on in the hearts and memories of those of us who knew and cherished his presence. His inspiration and energy was unmeasured. He has left a legacy that will live on and help us all to strive towards that goal that he met so well. Doug is at rest now but a bit of him will live forever in all of us.
I love you all very much,
Frances
