      A Message From Heaven
      Don't grieve for me because I'm gone
      I'm safely in Heaven, where I'll live on
      My loved ones are all so happy I'm here
      I'm well taken care of, so please dry your tears.
      Just give me a smile, as I look down
      Be happy for me,at the peace I have found
      Grandparents,cousins, loved ones of old
      We all walk together, down streets of pure gold
      Continue to live your lives as before
      And when you come home,I'll be at the door
      To welcome you in,and we'll rejoice and sing
      We'll all be God's angels, spreading our wings.
      So comfort yourselves,and please understand
      I'm so happy here, in this promised land
      Don't burden yourselves with grief and despair
      Although you miss me, don't wish me back there.
      I'm one of God's children, in my rightful place
      And every day I can look on His face.
      So cheer up Loved Ones, and please don't forget
      I'm safely home, I have no regrets.

      About Doug
      In his mother's words:
      Doug was born 5-4-66 (his brothers and sisters teased him about that every year, saying "May the fourth" be with you) instead of Happy Birthday. He was a wonderful son, never causing me grief like so many mothers have to contend with. As a matter of fact, he placed me on a pedastal I probably don't deserve, as do my other four children. We are strong survivors but our circle has been broken for a while. We all speak of Doug often, never omitting him for a day, for he is still such a part of our lives.


      Doug was fatally injured in an auto accident when a semi-tractor-trailer truck ran a stop sign in Auburndale, Florida and struck the van Doug was in, causing the van to catch on fire. Although the impact of the collision caused instant brain death, Doug was maintained on life support until his family made the incredibly difficult decision to pull the plug on the ventilator. Doug died on the 9th of September, 1995. He is loved and missed by his family.

      Doug continues to live in the hearts of his family.
