Richard Andrew Doig
July 14, 1948 - January 20, 2009
We always pray for God to change our circumstances, when God actually uses our circumstances, to change us.
I have developed patience, trust and faith that He has got a plan for us, no matter how things look.
Help me, dear Jesus, be who and what You want me to be.
Give me strength, faith and hope, and most of all, give me guidance each and every day.
I now let go and give You control.
God, I want what You want.
If what I want isn't what You want, then change my mind, and take me home. Rick was predeceased by his father, Murray, and sister, Sharon.

"Thank you" isn't enough for what you did for the family, by ensuring our loved one made his last trip home.

A special "thank you" goes out to the Beaudette and Castelli families, for the stunning flower arrangements, and "thank you" goes out to the numerous cards and support that the family received in this time of need.
