His devoted parents and brother, Don who so supported Doug in his journey with MS and his family wish to thank the staff at the Peter Lougheed Centre, and the ICU in particular, for the excellent and Professional effort in assisting Doug in his stay there. Thanks are also extended to the staff and Management at Doug’s Home, the Nickel House, for the care and compassion that was always given Doug while in their care.
