my heart is smiling when I saw the picture of Doug that you posted here.  This was a picture taken in my garage at one of my many parties that I had.  No words can express my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.  Stories will be told.  Take what you will and hold them close to your heart.  I will always remember the good times I shared with Doug.  Unfortunately I will not make it to celebrate Doug’s life.  He will always remain a memory in my heart.
