Pam, when you told me of Doug’s passing—-the song “Can you Imagine” came to mind. I smile with tears knowing that Doug was looking forward to being released from bodily pain and united with Jesus!!! I wonder if he danced or just fell in awe when he met Him????? As for you my friend, I pray that God is giving you that peace that passes all understanding and that the Holy Spirit is of great comfort to you!!
Pam, Zach and family members:
Our prayer that the Comfort of our God will wrap all of you in His arms!! Doug will be missed by many.
Our dear friend Doug will be so greatly missed. My heart is breaking for your loss and also in the fact that I will be unable to attend his celebration of life service on Wednesday. The reason that I will not be ubable to attend is because our family will also be having a celebration of life on the same day, which will come in the form of my grandsons birth. As one light diminishes here on Earth, another now shines brighter in heaven. We are so grateful and blessed to have been able to know Doug and your family. We love you and our prayers and hearts are with you during this difficult time. Love, Brian and Tammy Beebe
