The Tillman Family,
My sincere condolences to the entire family. Our families are forever linked through Matt and Doug's friendship. I think Doug spent more time at your house than his own. I joked with your parents many times that they could claim Doug as a deduction. Dad has gone on to a better place. May he rest in eternal peace.
Ray & Paula Wright
