I played guitar and sang for Doug for a few years. He taught me a lot about music and life. Always a smile, and looking for the next place to play music. He found it, playing and singing to the lord. I will miss you my fine friend.

My sympathy for the loss of your Uncle. There is a wonderful hope in the Bible where God will remember our dead loved ones and will bring them back to life on earth. Jo 5:28,29. Ps 37:11,29 Soon God will wipe away all tears of sorrow and death and pain will be gone forever. Rev 21:3,4 May you find comfort in these promises. https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/VODMinistryTools/pub-imv_4_VIDEO
