Uncle Doug was always larger than life. I loved listening to his stories at family gatherings when I was little. He always seemed so big and Auntie Yvonne so little. They seemed perfect together - his bluster and her calmness. My thoughts are with you, Auntie Yvonne, during this sad time. Condolences to you, Clay, Laura, and the boys. Love, Kelly and Emmett - Posted by: Kelly Fuerst (cousin) on: Jan 04, 2016

Mrs. Kellough and Clayton, I am very sorry for your loss. Mr Kellough was always nice to me growing up. I met up with him on the street it seems not that long ago. We caught up and he looked wonderful! That is how I will remember him. Please take care. Know that I'm thinking of your family during this difficult time.
