Just the way Doug wanted it...organized chaos.

Here is the details for Doug's service.

Date: Saturday 13th March

Location:

Baldwin Fairchild - Goldenrod Chapel
7520 Aloma Avenue, Winter Park, FL, 32792
Phone: (407) 677 5091

Visitation is 1 to 4 PM.

Informal service begins at 4PM.

Friends are invited to attend both the visitation and the service.

Service will be kept informal in keeping with Doug's laid back personality, so we encourage folks to say a few words if they wish at the service.

Kyle would like jugglers to pass clubs at his dad's service.

If you are a circus alumni member who juggled or a juggler and have access to clubs, we would be honored to have you juggle for Doug.

We do request that instead of people sending flowers to the service, you make a donation in Doug's honor to either of the following organizations:

http://www.hospiceofthecomforter.org/
http://circus.fsu.edu/ - Douglas Lynch Equipment Fund

For those folks who would like to send flowers, small gifts for Kyle, cards etc. before the service, this is our address:

Address: Marjorie Marshall/Kyle Lynch

2749 Scarlet Road
Winter Park FL 32792

Day of Service: If you are more comfortable sending flowers/plants - please send to the Baldwin Fairchild Goldenrod Chapel.

...And the curtains close

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

- Eskimo proverb


Douglas was transferred to the Hospice of the Comforter's Hospice House last night and quietly passed away in his sleep this morning at 3am.

I am sad but I am also relieved because he is now not in pain anymore and he went the way he wanted, with Kyle and I beside him.

Jimmy has mentioned that quite a few folks are asking whether we will be doing a service in addition to the Wake Doug requested for his 47th birthday.

Yes, Kyle and I will be having a service.

If you are interested in attending, we would love to have your company.

Thank you to you all for your love, continued prayers and support.
