For those of you who have come to this blog searching for help and comfort in your grief, our hearts are with you and we encourage you to read on in Doug’s other posts and the archives for the words of comfort that you need at this time.

Doug’s wife, Barbara, died suddenly over the weekend. Their marriage of 57 years was a true partnership in every sense of the word. Mere words are inadequate to express how much we will all miss her.

Expect for Doug to take a break from blogging for a short while, but he will return when he is ready. In the meantime, our hearts are with you as we share in this time of grief for loved ones who are no longer with us.

-Kathy Burns

Daughter of Doug & Barbara
