Doug was so proud of his family. He loved us, his Lord and his country. His twinkling, beautiful, blue eyes and sweet, little smile welcomed everyone. Special thank you to: Dr. Kenneth Olive and ETSU physicians, JCMC, VA staff, the incredibly wonderful, skillful, compassionate members of Amedysis Health Care and Hospice, EMS, and all the amazing medical people who have blessed our lives through Doug’s long years of declining health.
