Bet – I am so sad to learn of Doug’s passing. His spirit for life – zeal for life – was unmatched. My prayers are with you – your husband was “one in a million”.

I’m lost for words but would like to express how sad I am right now and how I know you are hurting. Sometimes I wonder what the higher being must be thinking…having us all go through loss is cruel and unjust. Some believe it is the natural cycle of life…which though it is…..it still doesn’t bring the comfort and joy that the person brought….

My thoughts are with you Bet. My empathy is profound. I was just thinking “Yesterday” what I would ldo if I lost the only person and family I have – my husband… So this news comes to me in a time that ….I can see how my fear can so easily come to reality.

Much Love

Bets

I’ve been working on a website as a tribute to Doug, who touched so many lives. I’m still in the process of adding things, but one video I found (at the top of the home page) really cheered me up. I hope it will bring you cheer too.

Dear Bet,
If you have the patience and the courage to read all these condolences, I would like to offer mine. You have been such a big help to me with bluebird, wounded bird, etc questions.
I have read all that you wrote about Doug and viewed all the pictures, now I feel that I missed out on knowing a very sweet, caring, humerous and unique human being. Congratulations on your good fortune of loving him and having his love in return. Surely his happiness is portrayed in the “goofy” pics that your sister posted. I will keep you in my caring thoughts. Bev J.

My Dear Friend Bet — I am so sorry and sick to hear of your loss, our loss, the loss to so many. I had no idea until moments ago. I am just shocked and speechless. Doug was one of the dearest people I’ve ever known and in your last correspondence to me you expressed how happy the two of you were and how much fun you had together, how much you loved each other how blessed you were to have him in your life. You were fortunate and blessed to have one and other. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let me know what I can do to comfort you. I am so very sad and sorry . God’s Blessings.

Christene

My heart goes out to my sister and Doug’s family and friends for the loss of this unique individual. Since I was not able to attend the memorial services, I held my own memorial service at my computer. Please visit Doug’s channel on YouTuba at http://www.youtube.com/douglaszimmerman

Bet-

We were so disappointed when we heard the news. We didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Doug well, but we will miss his environmental advise and his memorable contributions to our annual Christmas card. What a life! We are so sorry for your loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always.

Love,

Robert, Tamara, Chris & Meg
