Hi ViAnn,
I am so sorry for your loss.
This seems so sudden!
He was just a month younger than me.
I cannot believe he is gone.
Instead of sending flowers, I thought I could work my magic around the 1230 building to beautify it further for you and to honor Dougs memory.
Peace and grace be with you now and always.
Best,
Laura

Dear ViAnn
I am so sorry to hear about Doug’s sudden passing. My son is 39 and I can imagine the pain I would feel in losing him so soon. Just know that you are part of a beautiful group of friends here at Delaware Commons. I offer my support to you in any way that I can. We are all looking forward to having you back in your home and in our community.
Peace and love, Anna
Sorry for your Loss, ViAnn. Sending healing prayers.
I’m so very sorry to hear about Doug! We always enjoyed his company here at the dental office. He was usually chatting it up with Charley about cars! We will sure miss him. Please stay strong, Vianne!

Our hearts are saddened because of your loss of Doug! We’re praying for strength and courage for you in the days, weeks, and months ahead!!!
In His Love,

I’m so sorry to hear of Doug’s passing! Such sad news. I graduated LHS with him and we were often paired together for various things due to our last names. He had such a big heart! Sending you all love and strength.

Dear ViAnn,
We are so very sorry to hear about Doug’s passing. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers!
Dear ViAnn,
My memories of Doug are from being his Sunday School teacher and friend. I will always remember Doug and the conversations we had. It brings me great sadness to read about his death. Praying for you during this time of loss. I am so sorry, ViAnn.
ViAnn,
I didn’t know Doug well. But I remember how proud Jeri was of him.
My sincere sympathy to you and Reba.
Dear Mrs. Abel If Doug were here he could help me to better punctuate and enter my thoughts on this keyboard. He seemed to know a lot about everything and I enjoyed talking with him so much. Sometimes Jennifer almost kicked us out of her room because our blabbing was getting her behind. I always had questions about cars,drivers,or anything else and he knew more about any given subject than I had even thought to ask about. Thanks for making and taking such good care of my friend and I know and pray God will look after you as he is already doing for Doug. All of us who love you and Doug want you to know how much we admire you both and taking the liberty to speak for my friend Doug we want you to smile again. With Love And Respect Charley and Claudia Kincaid
