Dear Doug, I’ll always remember your kindness and warm heart. My Dad (Jessie) thought the world of you. You meant a lot to our whole family. REST IN PEACE
Papa, We did not talk or see each other nearly as much as we should have, but that does not change how much I think about you and love you. It does not seem real that you are gone. You will live in my heart forever. I love you!
DAD,
I miss you so much already!!!
Prayers go out to Mae and Family from Ann and David.
