  1. Brandie and Family,
    In these very tough times, I think of you often and how this is such a hard time to get through. Losing a parent to the lord is comforting as he is no longer suffering but it is also disheartening as we no longer have them to talk to, hold onto, and just see them. Hang on to your family and friends as we are here to support you. Many prayers to get you through this. ;

  2. Loomis NEOur sympathy goes out to you Karen, Brandie and Treff and their families. Will miss Doug at our family gatherings. Sorry we could not be with you at this time of need, but will be thinking of you. RIP Uncle Doug;

  3. tucson az In life we work for this goal and that goal and soon we are old and thinking about the end, Just think what is really important is not the destination that is important, but
    the journey to get there. And one thing is for sure we none of us that are going to get
    out of the life alive.
    The point being Doug had a wonderful journey and he slammed into homebase
    with a smile on his face!!!
