Please know that I am thinking and praying for y’all during this sad time. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the funeral because I was sick this week. ( Marc said he forgot to tell y’all) . I have so many memories of Doug playing with Hunter and all his trucks.
Love ,
Susan
Doug we miss you RIP
