Uncle Doug- You were always a silly heart that made me laugh when I was little. I will miss our Facebook chats, where we could solve the problems of the world and reminisce about days gone by. I will hold you in my heart, remember you fondly. Rest with our Heavenly Father, until we meet again.
Peace by with you Heidi and Rhonda. You're in our hearts and prayers.
