Frank Douglas Dubrouillet

JoAnn sorry for not writing sooner but we have been away. We are both hurt at the passing of Doug he was a good friend. He will be missed by many. I hope when my turn comes that I can have the strenghth he had, I am so happy to have been able to share so much time with him in Arizona. God bless you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dearest JoAnn, Thank you for your wonderful example of peace and serenity during challenging times. Thank you God for our time with Doug.
There are so many vivid memories of Doug that have flooded into our hearts since learning of his transition.
Fun: We fondly remember playing tiddlywinks with Doug not long after he moved to Panama City (I think it was in the late 80s) from Central Florida.
Dogs: Bruno (sp) was a wild wonderful boy that we so enjoyed. Doug telling about the tame deer chasing Bruno around the yard was a hoot. Filmore is so refined, wish our dog could learn some of Filmore's manners.
Service:Doug's willingness to serve and encourage others makes the loss of his presence huge. Grateful that he will continue to encourage us through his saved bloggs. 
Camping and Cancer Philosophy:We will think of Doug's encouragement to follow our dream as we camp at Grayton Beach State Park next week.

Dear Joann,

Even though I never met Doug it was as though I had always known him. Being that we all share the same dreams together makes us closer in the spirit. All of your travels have been our travels as we read each and every post. Thank goodness you have all those entries that Doug made over the years to re-live each and every day you shared together on your journey. We will miss his wit... and too will all those travelers out there that took time each day to read his entries. 

One day we will all travel together again...

Somewhere in Time  

Dear JoAnn,

I am so so sorry you have to go though this sad time. I didn't know Doug well but I did know if you loved him he had to be a great man.

Love...Fred

JoAnn, Fillmore and Doug's Family,

I feel I knew Doug even though I only read his words.  Your blog has been so inspiring to me and so many followers.  Doug will be messed.  I am so glad you were able to follow your dream for so long, and I wish you more dream fulfillment in the future.

We are so happy that we got to spend time with you and Doug at Lake Mittry in '08 (I think). Then, we followed you guys out to Borrego Springs, CA. Which was beautiful. We have many fond memories of our times there with you both. I remember Doug driving us girls up the mountain to Julian, CA., for a day of shopping and a piece of Mom's apple pie. And he was the only guy to go. Brave Man! He was very nice and didn't complain even though it was very cold up there that day. 

It was also our pleasure to host a small gathering of our friends to meet you guys when you came through Bella Vista, AR in the fall of '09. We enjoyed the evening and all the traveling stories that got told.

Doug will be missed. But he lives on in the hearts of all those that ever got to spend any time with him. And we are among those and are greatful. Love to you JoAnn and the family and Fillmore.
 

JoAnn and Fillmore,

We've "bumped" into the three of you several times over the past couple years and it has always been a special blessing.  Your lifestyle, in spite of Doug's sickness, has been a "True Inspiration" to many.  We couldn't agree more with Doug when he says, "Live you dream now, don't wait until next year!"

We'll miss his words of wisdom and his wit in "Living Our Dream".  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.  We, the RVing family, are all sharing in your loss.   

Hey JoAnn, You and Doug have obviously made an impact on many lives. I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. Sean with Servpro

Joann, Susanne, Mark and Fillmore,

We all share your loss, but we also have gained much from Doug's zest for life, his wry wit, and his being so comfortable with being himself. There was only one Doug.  He so obviously loved life, his best mate, his children and his Fillmore.  I feel I have read a primer on life from many perspectives through his musings in "Living Our Dream".  His open approach to his life is truly inspirational.  God bless you with comfort.  you are in our prayers.
