My condolences and Love to the Douglas Family, May God continue to comfort and console you throughout. Quite often I reminisce and re-live memories of our friendship, Kirby as I re-live those many, many memories there's no doubt that you've heard me laugh, many times out loud and you've no doubt seen the tears too. But my brother just know that you live on in my heart and mind, so rest-in-Peace, but Keep the motor running as we'll ride again one day!

When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
Sending my deepest condolences in the loss of Kirby. I am Fedelia, Elaine's sister in law (Clinton's sister).
