Carlene, Shari, Mike & families. Thinking of you in your time of loss.
Douggie was so so loved by all of us here on Brighton.
He was one of my absolute favorite people in the world. So many times on particularly bad or hard days I would sit with him and he would just hold my hand and remind me why I am here doing what I do.
He was a real life angel to me on some of my worst days.
I miss him so so terribly and I will always always think of him with such fondness and love. There will never be another like him.
Sending all my love to his family and friends.
We’ll see you again douggie. ?
