I was sorry to hear about Doug. I visited with him at the TwoBit many times. He was a very nice person and always tried to help others - giving them rides to the Food Pantry. He is in a better place where he is not suffering. May the Lord give you his peace. ~ Lillian Helms Creighton, SD (12/17/2020)
