Tony, I'm sorry to hear of Doe's passing. I remember his big laugh and strong deep voice along with the kindness he showed to me. Riding horses together with you and Doe was a huge part of my life that I will never forget and always think of with much fondness. My prayer is that you will know how great, and how wide, and how deep the Heavenly Father's love is for you and your family. God Bless. Eric Kincaid
