Shalom Doug,
You are my dear and wonderful friend.
I treasure the memories of our close friendship that has spanned nearly fifty years.
I enjoyed watching you worship God in church and at home as we would often pray together when we lived in the same house as brothers and roommates.
I enjoyed helping you with Jaime and Jared when they were babies and toddlers.
I watched you influence and inspire so many people with your gentle personality and great character. You showed the love and integrity of Jesus Christ to multitudes of people; and my life and ministries are better because of you Doug.
I love you and I miss you.
Yet, you and I know we will see each other again. My dear brother, what a glorious day it will be in the presence of our Lord and Savior as we rejoice together in our new home. I will meet you there; with great anticipation.
In Jesus’ name..
Bishop Dr. Richard Murphy
