Thank you to everyone-

Thank you to all the people who helped put the Memorial service together on Saturday. It was beautiful. So many people have made gifts, food, cards, flowers and spent countless time giving service to our family. No words could ever express how grateful we are to all of you. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Valerie and her children.

To the Thomas Family- We love you! You are an amazing family that we are proud to be a part of. Steve and Mary, you have an amazing daughter. Never a better hero!! Thank you for all you have done, and being such a wonderful support to help her through this. Sarah- You are amazing! Thank you for being such a fantastic sister, and aunt. Your love for your sister and her family shines very bright! Tommy- I love you! Your sweet tenderness and strong embrace helped me beyond words. Thank you again. Jacob and Bret- Thank you for your kindness and love, you both have become great men, just like your father and Doogie was very proud of both of you.

We will be keeping the blog up for a while. We would like to be able to post things frequently. I know a lot of people have asked about stories that may not be appropriate at this time for his children. We would still love to receive them and put them in a book that Val will have made. He was usually inappropriate with his humor, but we still would like to hear those stories as well. Again, please send them to hhyde3@gmail.com!!

Thank you to everyone, I can't say thank you enough.
