To Doug's family and friends.

I met Doug on several occasions when he and Linda Carter (my sister)visited my family in the Destin, Florida area. He truly enjoyed the beautiful Florida Gulf Coast.

We spent time touring the Air Force Armament Museum at Eglin Air For Base. It was a beautiful day and he showed a wonderful spirit. I really enjoyed the times that he visited my family and I.

I know you are heartbroken, I am. The great memories will continue.

God bless all of you.
