Debbie, Danny, Deidre and Dale,
There are not many families that come into your life that become your family, but that is what happened with the Holders when they met the Bahams. Doug inspired us with his humor, wisdom, positive attitude, generosity and his humble ways. We will cherish Dougs memory forever and want you all to know we are here for you. With love and prayers,
Ersel, Shirley and all the Holder family

Debbie,
I was so very sorry to hear of Doug's passing. I was planning on stopping in Shreveport this weekend to see you and Doug on my way back from Baton Rouge. I am so sorry that I did not stop at the beginning of my trip. I would have loved to see Doug one more time, and tell him how special he was to all of us, and especially to my father. My dad, Cleve Baham, considered him like a son, and speaks so lovingly about you and Doug. Please take care, and give my sympathy to your family. I know Doug is hanging out with his "Papa" now.
