Douglas, was special in so many ways and especially him being our baby Brother. He was softly spoken, compassionate, loving and caring. He was always there for us and we will always love and miss him, holding him close to our hearts and in our memories forever.
Doug is safe now and being guided by God's Grace, we are assured...
"A man stood at Heaven's Gate and asked, give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown; an Angel replied
Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God, that shall be better than a known way. So, he went forth and finding the Hand of God, he tread gladly into the Light and it lead him towards the hills and the breaking of a NEW day.
Douglas, may you rest in peace, guide and watch over us when we lose our way..
Forever, Your Brother Murphy

It's painful to lose a Brother..Douglas was so special to us and his memories will live on in our hearts forever. He was a kind and softly spoken guy with a big heart and so compassionate.

We know Doug is now safe in in God's care as the following assures us of that.
A man stood at Heaven's Gate and asked for a light to tread safely into the unknown. God said, go into the darkness and put your hand in mine, that shall be better than a known way. So he went forth and finding the Hand of God, tread gladly into the light and it lead him towards the hills and the breaking of a new day."
Rest in Peace, My Brother.
