ReplyDeleteMay you rest in peace now Doug. You always were the guy who could brighten up anyones day and light up a room. There was never a dull moment when you were around. I will always remember how much you contributed to Potomac Falls and how outstanding of a guy you truly were. It is so sad that you were taken away this early, but I guess its true only the good die young. I know your in a better place and all I have left of you are the moments we shared together and those will never be taken away. Kick back and relax up there! I will miss you!
ReplyDeleteThe world is a darker place without the light that you brought to it. You can sing with the angels now.

God Bless You and God Bless America!
