Doyle, my sweetie you are missed very much. You will never be forgotten in my heart, when God made you he threw the mold away. Your children, grandkids, Michelle and Jay thought a lot of you. Your not in pain now, hope your dancing in the sky country no doubt with Josh and Nick we will all be there sometime to rejoice with you.
