    To Doug’s family….I am so shocked to hear of Doug’s passing. I remember him as a young man. My heart goes out to Glen, Marie and the girls who looked after me when I was young. I can not imagine how upset and sad my Dad (Ken England) would feel at Doug’s passing, as he was very close to his family. My heart aches for all of you at this sad time…I send Big Hugs to all of you…..Love, Jackie

    Glen, Marie, Sara, Amanda & Meagan,
    Words cannot express our sadness at hearing of Doug’s passing. Any time spent with him, left us with smiles on faces and maybe a few head shakes. We are away for the winter, and will miss visitation. Please know our thoughts are with you at this time.

    To my cousins, Glen and Marie: I just heard the sad news of Doug’s death from Cousin Rene Griffith Carruthers and I am stunned at the news. My deepest condolences to you and your family. It is at times like this that I think it would be nice if we lived closer to London than we do to allow us to attend tomorrow evening’s visitation. I will look forward to presenting sympathies in person when I attend the celebration of life whenever it is held. Doug was way too young to leave this world. May God grant you all the strength you need in the days ahead!

    Glen and Marie and families’, my Brother just informed me of Doug’s passing. My heartfelt condolences to all and although distance prevents me being at the visitation, I look ahead to meeting with you at Doug’s memorial.

    Dear Marie, Barbra and Linda. I had heard a few months ago that Doug was ill when we were doing doors open at Brick St Cemetery. We were doing a Heritage Fair at the Library today when Buelah Cornell told me about Doug… What a shock. We had some great times together as Children, playing in the Barn , building forts, doing all those things children do not get to do anymore… I will always cherish those memories. Hugs to all of you .David Long.
