Our love to you, Randy and other close family! Doug and I had a lot of fun talking about our early relationship in Bergen!! What a great cousin he has been to this only child (spoiled brat) my term as I reflected on my visits to the Bergen farm! As I related that, he would laugh, but never commented! What a great cousin, and so blessed we kept in touch!
See you in June, Shirl. Hugs the other Shirl xo
Shirley and family,
So sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. We were lucky enough to have met you both thru my Mom(Janet Guenther) and we enjoyed our time together before we moved to the States. I am truly sorry to hear of Doug’s passing and we know we were blessed to have met him! So sorry for your loss Shirley and family!! Kristin and Dwayne Dell, Keegan and Brooke

We’ve enjoyed those opportunities that we’ve had to connect with you and Doug at my parents over the last few years and hope to have a visit again with you soon! Take care and thinking of you❤️XO, Nicole, Rudy, Tristan & Loïc (McKay) Benes
