It is hard to believe 1 month has past since Doug was here on Earth. My condolences to everyone who loved Doug and misses him. No words could truely ever express the feelings any of us are having. We all loved him and we all miss him.  

 

I want to express my condolences again to Doug's family. Doug was an amazing person someone I sure you are proud to call a member of the family and a friend. This past weekend must have been especially hard being Mother's day and (from what I see in other postings) a first holy communion. I am sure Doug was there in spirit watching, smiling, and even singing along with any and all the music playing.

 

Let's not say goodbye but say until we meet again my friend~

 

 

During a time like this, words never seem to be enough or we all feel we cannot find the words we feel are right. 

 

Doug touched so many people in his time here and has taken with him a piece of all our lives.  We never forget the laughter, the smiles, his signature "Hey you" or his infectious smile and childlike acting at times. 

 

With all the memories we all hold so dear, he will never stray far from our hearts or minds. 

 

My condolences to not only his family, but to all of us who have been touched even for just a moment by his heart

My condolences to Doug's family and friends. He will be deeply missed by us all who knew how special he was. 

My condolences to all Doug's Family and Friends. My heart broke when I found out the news of his passing. Doug was a great guy someone any parent would be proud of. Doug was a person who if he came into your life for even 5 minutes he touched it for a lifetime. I have many happy memories that I will hold near and dear. They will be in my heart forever. I hope Doug has found peace in heaven. I believe he is looking down upon everyone who loved him. He is deeply missed. He is 100% loved.

My heart is breaking for Doug's family and friends.  I count myself as part of his extended family.  I am so sorry we will never see him or hear his kareoke  ever again.  When Kalyn bowls, she will always think of her daddy.   She is making a memorial scrapbook of her daddy and all the fun times they had together.  She and I both think he was the best daddy ever.  We love him and will miss him terribly.

My deepest condolences to Dougs Family and friends.  Doug will be all of our Gaurdian Angel always looking over us.

 

TO THE KELLY FAMILY I WISH COMFORT DURING THIS TIME. THOU DOUG AND I WERE NOT BROTHERS BY RELATION, OUR BOND OF FRIENDSHIP MADE US CLOSE ENOUGH. Usted puede dormir con los ángeles en el cielo,(translated)- MAY YOU SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN. I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

My deepest Condolences to Doug's family and friends. Doug was a very good person even from elementry school. I wish his family and friends nothing but the best and may God Bless each and every one of the people Doug touched.

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without  effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting,  when we meet again.

-John and Lisa Sullivan (Barrett)

Both of us being Irish as well, I thought that this poem says a lot about Doug, he was an amazing man, friend, father, son and brother.  I am truly blessed to have known him. There will never be any one like him in this world.

We want to extend our condolences to his family and especially we would like to thank his mother and father for bringing such a wonderful person into this world and into our lives. Without them, we would never have had the opportunity to meet such a fantastic person who had the biggest heart I had ever known. Doug is greatly missed by all the people whose heart he touched.

Rest in peace, our dear friend...your spirit will live on in all who had the pleasure of knowing you.
