I have known Doug for almost 6 yrs and he has done so much for me and my family. He will be truly missed by my children also my Hannah and Doug used to play barbies together and my Brandon Doug gave him rides skating and to school and most mornings when he was here he would yell down stairs "i'll take Karmella while you take the kids to school. I'd come home and they would be snoring logs. I remember Friday the 13th 2007 we were at the casino and I hit a jackpot for$20,120dollars we went back to the hotel and threw the money around the room. Doug is one of the few people I have incountered in my life that nothing was to big or to small to be accomplished. His encouraging words. I would like to also include he spoke of all his sibilings dearly so as I met all of you tonight it seemed like I have known you all. May God bring sunlight to your gloomiest days and find peace to you all

Good N Bad Start to a New Year. Found out a good friend had passed away this last Sat. About a year ago I had lost my Grandfather an little over a year my Great Grandmother. Its not easy to except whats happened but all I can remember is my friend Doug Mueller was a great person, a great casino buddy... he taught me how to play Blackjack. My Grandfather was a great man who knew alot and did alot. I respected him alot as he taught me how to golf n was there when I needed him. My Grandmother I miss alot too :) she was one of my favorites growing up. lol I remember she would pull out her teeth before bed which being little was kind of scary. I called her Grandma YI YI cause I was too young to say her name. I miss all those that have left this earth to go to a better happier place than this and I'll always carry what I feel and love in rememberance of them all.
