Just got word that Doug's wife Pat just died. If you can spare a moment and a prayer or thought, it would go a long way for a good man and a friend of turners everywhere.

We'll be praying for you. I know God can give us strength to overcome things that look to great for us to conquer. Through his Son Jesus Christ we are more than conquerors. I found out when my mother passed away suddenly that I needed help beyond this earth. I called on the only almighty God and He has seen me through it all. May God Bless You My Friend

I had called Doug for the first time this morning to place an order. He told me Patricia had died of a heart attack this morning. She is 59 years old. My prayers are added to all of yours for Doug and Patricia and other family and friends.

Doug, I'm so sorry for your loss. I met both Doug and Pat at the Desert Woodturning Roundup last year and my 1st and lasting impression was that they were both "good people", and for me it doesn't get any better than that. I know that Pat will be greatly missed and my thoughts are with Doug and the family.

My heartfelt condolences to Doug and his family on the loss of Pat. My prayer is that they lean on God and draw together in the dark days ahead as they learn to live without her physically there, but remember the joy and love she brought to many lives through a life well lived that ended far too soon. I pray that Doug will have the strength to reach out to his friends and family and press into them for whatever need he has. Doug, you will continue to be in our prayers.

-Todd

He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
