Sorry for your loss.

I will not only think of you and her today, but will every time I see a Nascar race.

Sorry
 
Very sad. Thoughts are with your family. Sorry for your loss. Glad you had the RV so that you could spend time when it was needed.

Veetail88 09-05-2014 12:45 PM

Doug,

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Having lost my own mother very recently I understand the depths of your sorrow.

I'm praying God gives you and your family strength through the knowledge that she is now in His hands, suffers no longer and that you'll all be with her again.

She has so obviously been an incredible blessing in your life, and through her memories she will always live in you.

BCP Boys 09-05-2014 01:53 PM

From our family to the Reeves family, our deepest condolences to you all and may the lord bless your family.

Loss
 
Loss is a terrible thing we must endure as part of life. As much as we might think we are prepared it hits hard.
Stay strong, never stop flying the plane and you will have a safe landing.

Mike Macon 09-05-2014 03:13 PM

Sorry Doug. She raised a great kid.

These are such hard things and hard times and, while there's a certain beauty in the natural order of things, it's a tragic part of the journey, for sure.

There is, of course, nothing that can be said that makes anything easier. So just know that we are all thinking of you and the reason we are speaks of the kind of gal your mom obviously was and continues to be in the mark she left on the planet.

In fact, there's a young lady at SMU who's just started to analyze chemicals to look for trends between stress and depression, I hear. Think of where that can -- and someday, will -- lead and the lives that will make better of people who aren't even born yet. Wouldn't be possible were it not for Doug. Wouldn't be possible had Virginia Reeves not walked among us.

And this is how she will do so forever.

Deepest sympathies from Carolie and Me to Doug and the entire Reeves clan.

Sincere sympathies to the Reeves family. We feel this loss with you and share in the joy and the hope and the faith that Virginia gave to her family.

It's been 25 years since my mother passed away and I still think of her every day, but I also thank God for having had her for my mother. My prayers will be with you.

AaronG 09-05-2014 05:38 PM

Sorry to hear this, my condolences. I really enjoyed the stories you shared about your mom on VAF, sounded like quite a lady.

Red Voodoo 09-05-2014 05:55 PM

I've seen various versions of the following, attributed to different people, so I'll just pass it along without crediting the original author, with apologies. I found it comforting when I lost my parents:

I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts
for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout;
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.

Very very sorry Doug... you should have had more time. Glad for the trips you did make. Prayers....

Dorf 09-05-2014 06:59 PM

Mom
 
Very sorry for your loss, Doug.

It is a wonderful thing that you, via the airplane that you built, were able to visit with your Mom so many times in the last few weeks. I am sure that it brought great comfort to her.

Mom
 
Sorry to hear this news, Doug. I hope there was time for kisses and goodbyes. Rest assured that she raised some fine children, and that they in turn are sending her fine grandchildren into the future.

MOTHER
 
Very sorry for your loss, Doug Reeves.
I'm sure, though, that your mother is very much better now, free of the burdens of her body.

"In death, we, the surviving ones, are the ones that suffer. We have to go on carrying the weight of the loss of the loved ones gone."

God Bless you and your beautiful family.
Greg.
