Doug and Diana, heard the news and want to express our sympathy
Diana and Doug, So sorry for the loss of your beloved father. He now rests in peace and and will now be watching over you. You have all the special memories of the time you got to spend with your father. Even though your father couldn’t tell you how much your many trips to visit him in the nursing home meant, we know he appreciated all the love and devotion you showed him. Your devotion was truly inspirational to so many. All our love – Rose and Jerry

He is in a much better place, and in peace, I did not know him personally, but felt like I knew him through Doug. May he rest in peace, friends, Dennis and Judy
