Hey Doug,

How you've been brother I thought i reach out to you just to chat and let you know what's going on since that's what we would do. I been on a bumpy road lately mentally and emotionally but for some reason my brain keeps fogging up my thoughts about am I good enough, what's my purpose, what will people remember me as or did I make a difference at some point in my life? I don't know that's what really has going on in my thoughts lately. I guess you can say I'm at my vulnerable state? You would tell me you just have to keep your head up and get rid of those thoughts cause that's just your self conscience getting to you. Think of all the good you have done and that will help you keep pushing forward. Even though it's hard at times it honestly helps. Anyways talk to you soon brother love ya.

Hey Bud,

How have you been? I just wanted to drop by and see how've been. Keep watching over all of us we miss you. I'm working on a oil painting with you and all the brothers in it. It's coming out really good wish I can show it to you in person to get your reaction but I know you're smiling and looking at it in spirit. 

talk to you again soon bud

Hey bud, 

Thought I drop in to say hi and see how you been. You crossed my mind and thought about you yesterday and when it happened the song "I'm Still Believing" played in my head and I knew I had to play it out loud. I been going through a rough patch at the moment but nothing to major. I guess it's a mental battle and life situations but, when that song came to mind I instantly knew you were saying everything is going to be alright and keep your head up. It helped me pick myself up I really appreciate it brother that you keep guiding me and all of us we all love and miss you brother. 

Talk to you again soon,

Alex

Hey Dougie Brother,

Hey bud,

Just thought I drop on to say hi. thought about you yesterday while at work then driving home from work my favorite song that we sang together at old towne pub came on "Here I Go" I always get teary eyed and choked up when I hear it cause it was one of the best memories I had of us all. Ever since then every time you sang that song you would just look at me and nod your head like this ones for you Alex its your song. Not going to lie typing this right now really got me emotional. Really wish we all can spend time together especially around this time of the year. But I know you will be with us all in spirit Doug brother. 

I love and miss you brother talk to you soon,

Alex

Hey bud just thought I drop in to talk to you for a bit. Been thinking about you the past couple days. I don't know what it was specifically about yesterday but, as I was just going on with my day I randomly just started looking for records. Then i went on bills website and decided to look for your records. I found one that was in stock that i didn't have got excited and had to tell bill to hold it for me so i can pick it up. I went to go pick up the record "The Great Divide" I was filled with emotions cause it was another record of yours i been looking for. I stared at it started getting emotional thinking how much hard work you put into these records and how much your music motivated me to overcome many obstacles. Also cause I couldn't tell you i got another record of yours. you would get excited knowing that there are records that are hard to find of yours being happy for me cause it went to the right hands. I couldn't stop staring at it nor couldn't stop smiling thinking i finally got it. It just made me happy well bud just thought I come and tell you that Miss ya and love ya everyday. Talk to you soon

It's been a year brother. Miss you everyday think about you everyday especially today.

Hey doug,

Been thinking about you lately especially these past 2 days. You crossed my mind and I ended getting emotional but, started listening to The Generators and Bedlam Knives. It put smile on my face then made me relive watching you play on stage. As the holidays come closer it gets a bit hard but I know your great spirit is around and accompanies all of us who think of you everyday. 

Miss ya bud talk to you soon,
