"Debbie and Doug Jr.Im so sorry for your loss. I only knew him as a patient at the cancer center. He always made us laugh. He sure did love to tease, didnt he. I had hoped he would learn to let go of bitterness before he left this earth. I hope you can. Write him a letter and tell him how you feel."
