Our deepest sympathy to the entire Rabren family.  It has been a few years since we were at the War College together, but good, friendly and kind people are always remembered.  God hold you close during this difficult time.  We will continue to pray for Deb's healing.

When I received the call informing me of Doug's sudden death, a piece of my heart was ripped away and has not returned.  Even though I never met Doug personally, my working relationship with him left no questions...he was a GOOD man!...and I enjoyed working with him.  Every conversation with Doug was filled with warmth, care, and compassion.  When he gave you his word....he followed through.  Every day since learning of Doug's death, I've had an awkward void and unsettling weight that's carried throughout my days.  Feeling this way, I can only imagine the pain that his wife and family must be in.  I will continue to pray for you and ask that God give you strength to heal.  I sadly extend my heartfelt condolences.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Rabren family during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rabren family.  Doug will be missed until we meet again.

Our deepest heartfelt blessings to Doug. And we hope full recovery for Deb. God Bless. John, Diane, Sydney and John Andrew DeVita

The love Doug showed for our Lord and Savior was a major inspiration for both myself and my familiy. If it were not for Doug I would not have been lead to my Lord and be saved now. A great example of a loving christian husband, father and friend. My prayers and love are with you  Deb and the family. Doug has returned to be home with his Lord.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

I was blessed to know Doug for the past four years at Victory.  He was a friend, brother and counselor to me, and obviously so very much more to Deb and the rest of the family.  Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family during this time.
