We hope your good memories bring you smiles as you move through the days to come.
So saddened to hear of your Dad’s passing. Whenever I was home for a visit Uncle Doug and Aunt Elaine would always stop by my folks with a big hug for me! Mom and Dad loved them so much and I don’t doubt Dad was there at heavens gate to greet him with fishing pole in hand! You are in Dean and my thoughts and prayers and may God comfort you during this difficult time.
Elaine, I am so sorry to hear of Doug’s passing! All my sympathy, thoughts & prayers are with you. Keep all the love & happy memories in your heart to get you thru this difficult time. May God bless & keep you in His care.
