Dear Sister Molly and the whole Gimbert family,
Doug was truly loved and we were so blessed to be family. Spending holidays at Mike and Martha and your home are memories to always remember. Sam and Jacob and Jay always told us how much they enjoyed all the conversations with Uncle Doug. Sending all the love and hugs during this time and days to come.
