Everyone.....

Thank you so much for the well wishes that you have posted. I can not tell you how much they have lifted us these past few days. This has been a very exhausting time for us......We miss our friend more than you can imagine.

Doug left behind a five year old son, and after consultation with Carlton, he suggested I post this information here, if anyone should feel like they would like to help. Please do not feel any obligation to do so....but any amount would help so much.

A college tuition trust fund has been established for Doug's five year old son, Danny. It will be accessible for college expenses only.

The information is as follows:

We, in ENCXC, again thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts. The support from the Nissan communities has been phenomenal. I personally can not thank people enough for all that they have done since last Friday night. This has been a monumentally difficult time for us....but we really do appreciate everything so incredibly much.
