Dougs Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Doug visited us not too long ago at AC Corporation and we were glad for the time spent with him. He taught me a lot during our work time together and enjoyed the fishing together even more. He will be greatly missed. I have some medical test tomorrow and will not be able to visit or attend the funeral. I apologize for not being able to attend, but he will be in our thoughts. We are glad and honored to have known Doug. Sincerely,
Cindy & Don Aldridge

Chris, Rhonda, Darla and families- please know that we are praying for you and wish we could be there for the visitation or funeral. So sorry that he had to leave you and I'm so happy for him now as his suffering is ended. May God's grace and comfort surround you all as you go through this next year and the years to follow without this man in your life. The blessing is that you will see him again in that wonderful place where all is perfected and we can all join in praise for the One who made it all possible. Love y'all!
