Lit a candle in memory of Douglas W. Ketchem

I’ve been holding you both in my heart since I heard about Doug’s passing. Loss has a way of stirring up so many layers—grief, reflection, and gratitude all at once. Doug and I shared a chapter that shaped me in ways I’ll never forget. Through all its turns, the greatest gift we gave each other was our daughter. She is a living reflection of love, resilience, and grace—and for that, I will forever be grateful. I know this moment carries its own weight for each of you. Please know I’m here, quietly beside you, honoring Doug’s memory and the bond that remains. May you find comfort in the stories, the laughter, and the love that endures beyond time. With love and sympathy, Paula

God Speed, Doug. Bless your family and friends.

Dear dad , How could I ever find the words to express how grateful I was to have you as my father in this life . You were kind , understanding, loving & you never cared what I did as long as it made me happy . You truly loved me for who I am and that’s the biggest accomplishment as a parent in my opinion. You were my dad but you sometimes you were also my best friend . I could confide in you , cry , complain , boast .. you didn’t care . You always had a smile on your face when you saw me. Your hugs were so sweet and warming it reminded me of when I was a kid . To think at just 31 years old I lost my twin . The one guy who truly cared about me is just heart breaking to admit . I won’t see the life the same but I understood it was your time . I hope that one day we will meet again . You keep grandma , uncle Mike , and my cat binx company for me . I’ll see you again in the next life . My heart will never quite be the same . You truly took most of it . RIP dad . You will never be forgotten.
