To the man I referred to affectionately as "Dougie"

I remember working long nights with you trying desperately to stay awake by talking.  That's how I came to know you. I loved your thoughtfulness for others, your devilish sense of humor, and your ever-present smile. 

Little did I know our friendship would carry on through years to come.  Nor did I realize I would become part of your extended family.  You shared so much of your life -- your dreams, your faith, stories of your children, remembrances of your father at his funeral etc. - that I felt like I was family. 

 I'm so grateful I had that time with you. I wish I had more.

I'll miss you at my left at the table!  But I know you are now at the left hand of The Father.

Peace be unto you my friend
Angie

Doug was a great friend.  He was much loved by all of us at SUMC.  We will miss him.
