Lois and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I first met Doug when he was about 3 years old and Derald and I were newly weds.I will keep you in my thoughts.
Lois,
We are so sorry about Doug’s passing. Although, we didn’t know him well,we could tell he was loved by many. We are praying for you daily. May God strengthen you and your family for the days ahead.
Keith and Janet Casebier.
Doug was a good father, husband and friend. If gen liked you, he liked you. If he didn’t, he’d tell you. That’s the kind of person we all want to be. Upfront and honest. His sense of humor was rather dry but that’s what made him so funny. I am a firm believer, that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. My prayers are with the family and I pray God will give them a comfort that only comes from Heaven above.
Lois, so sorry yo hear of Dougs passing. There are so many good memories of when we were children and all at Grandma Clarks for Sunday dinners. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Gail Clark Foster
Lois,
My heart goes out to you. Please let me know …anytime…if you need our help.
Love you,
Tammie Muse
