Rest in Heaven my dear friend. I will really miss you, Doug. We went to many, many gospel concerts together and our many lunch dates. You always shared your faith. You really blessed me over the years when you always invited me to the firehouse to pick up toys for my nieces and nephews (I had so many). You allowed me to pick up toys year after year until they were adults. Lord knows, I could not purchase toys for all of the. You were a good man. Thank you for all the laughs. Wow! I have known you since I was 26 years old.
Rest in His arms and I know I will see you again.

Doug, I lit a yellow candle in memory of you, yellow because it reminds me of sunshine and you were like sunshine to me and everyone around you. You lit up the room! My heart aches knowing we will no longer share lunches together, and I can't ask your opinion anymore. But the memories we shared will remain in my heart forever. It was a blessing to me that our paths have crossed I learned so much from you, rest easy my dear friend.

On the behalf Avril Washington:
We have known each other since the Emery High School days and even then you have always been a kind and wonderful man. Always fun, helpful and willing to be there not only for your family , friends but anyone in need, it's how God created your Spirit. One of the most fun things, I will smile about, is you always was MR GQ, no one could out dress you that is for sure, LOL.
My dear friend I will really miss you but I know I will see you again and I know, the gates of Heaven welcome you with open arms.
Sleep well until we meet again.

I do not have a photo to share, but the best memory is when we were going to lunch and singing "Sugar Pie Guy" all the way to Sizzler like kids, just sangin'! Lots of great memories. My heart is so broken right now and I can't stop crying, but I literally can hear you saying "STOP CRYIN'" to me because you know I'm a crier. I keep looking for the "A.M." Jeep in the parking lot. I keep looking down the hallway for you to appear. I keep waiting for you to bust through my office door and go in my frig. I thank you for your light and laughter and great advice, all of the great conversations. I already miss you. Fly high, because I'm depending on you to be the wise one for me when I call on the ancestors. With love in my heart from me to you....till we meet again <3
