Joleen, I am so sorry to hear about Doug. I remember way back when you put him at the top of your “list” and it actually happened! Doug was a good friend of mine back in the day when we were all young and running around Forest Lake. You have my deepest condolences. He was a great guy.
Dear Joleen and family.
We are truly sorry for your loss. We loved Doug and being a neighbor. We have great memories on the boat, bonfires, summer happy hours on our decks, dinners, bingo, New Years Eve together. Much love and blessings as you move forward.
