Doug was a good friend during our school years and I have vivid, fond memories of his good humor and strong spirit. We admired and respected him in every way. My heart goes out to his family and we grieve with you at this loss. Thank you for taking care of him during these last, difficult times.
Lillie Davis Stevenson says
My prayers are with you now and in the days to come. I am sadden to hear of your loss and the loss of another classmate. I have not seen Doug in a lot of years, and was only in school with him for two years, but still I remember him. I was told at a young age we should be happy when someone makes the transition from life, because they are going to a better place. We should continue to live the life God wants us to live so we may get to see our love ones again. I pray for God’s love for the family.
