I miss your face, your smile, your laugh. I miss our late into the night/morning talks on the roof and the backyard. You would be so proud of all your children. Just like we used to talk about. I will forever love and miss you.

Hi Daddy, it's been a little over 8 years since you passed, i'm 24 now. Justin's 27. Jenna's about to be 23 and Graceson's in middle school---12 year old now. You have 4 grandkids between Justin and Jenna, none from me. I never got to sign your Guest Book, better late than never, right? You were the Late King. We were late to everything, work, church, school. I remember days you'd drop us off at school hours late and we'd be sitting in the office waiting to be picked up hours after school had ended. All the ladies in the office knew our names and any where you went people knew who you were. There were some really tough years there. I hope there's peace where ever you are. Love, Danielle

I am so sorry for not knowing you in adult hood as I knew you as a child. You protected me and cared for me and I looked up to you as my friend, brother and not just a cousin. I am so proud of the person that you were then and the person that you had become. You are now in God's loving embrace and I am sure still protecting and caring for all of us now, no matter what space and time is between us. PLEASE whoever knew Doug as an adult please contact me. I would like to put the pieces of my heart together. I only just found out on August 8th of his death.
