Uncle Doug will be missed. I will never forget the days when my parents would go visit “Doug and Denise”. A fond memory I have, being over their house and Santa clause with Tim Allen was on the tv. I will always cherish the birthday cards sent to my parents house, specifically sent to me and opening the card with it ending “love, Doug and Denise”
My thoughts and prayers are with you guys during these heartbreak times.
Doug and Denise and their daughter Jennie were my next door neighbors for 8 years. They’re the nicest people you could be around. We became friends and Doug and I hunted together for years. He taught me a lot about hunting and had a positive impact on my life. Wish I spent more time with him hunting after I moved. He will be missed. My condolences and prayers to Denise and Jennie.
Hi Jimbo,
Thanks for your kind words. Doug most importantly wanted everyone to know JESUS as they’re
Savior before it’s too late. He went straight to Heaven and we will see him again.
Hope you are doing well,
Denise
