We all think of you Doug.

We all grew up, drifted apart a bit, but Forest City, the Shanty, cruising around, BLT's, working out at your house, still fresh in our minds like it was yesterday.

So many memories. We'll never forget, you know that.

Rest Easy

A little more than 4 years later, and I continue to pray that the Lord, may comfort your family. I watch the new notes, and realize that Doug Wendel is a loved man.

Peace to all of you..

To Officer Wendel's family--

As you decompress from camp, just wanted to remind you that someone from Wisconsin is thinking of you. You all inspire me--spending time with all of us on the anniversary date takes courage and strength.

A special hello to the "kid" at camp who I didn't get to see this year.

On this 4th anniversary of your passing, we pause to remember. Rest in peace Doug, job well done. Know that your bothers and sisters here have not forgotten you. To the family of Officer Doug Wendel and especially Marilyn Wendel I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Doug you may be gone but know you will never be forgotten.
