Doug so sorry to hear about your Dad we certainly have a lot of memories. Being our neighbor for 23 yrs., always staying in touch with us. Dec., 2015 was the only yr. he missed sending us a Christmas card since Dec., 1987. We should rejoice knowing he is having a wonderful time seeing Jesus and his loved ones. I pray for the days of head that God will be your comforter. It was our honor to be his friend. In Christ. Billy & Linda Plyler
