To Janice, Wendy, Sue, Pam, and Shelley.
So so sorry to hear about Doug, just found out. He was a great man, even in the short time I knew him. You guys took me into your home and treated me like family. I will never forget that. He will be missed on a grand scale. All our love to you Janice, and to you girls. Love Brett and Lorrae McHugh
