So sorry to hear about Doyle. My thoughts are with you Betty and the rest of the family. We always enjoyed visiting with him when we lived in Combs
I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear Doyle. I hope that you will find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where he promised that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect back to life those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-13) May your family draw strength from Jehovah, the God of all Comfort.
So Sorry !
He was a good man !

I remember Doyle fondly from the “music gatherings” many years ago. I would vocalize while Doyle and other accompanied with the guitar. I know he will be missed by many.
