Mr. Doud delivered prescription drugs from Carter’s to my stepmom, and was always a gentleman, caring individual. Praying for God’s comfort for his family.

Lanay and Steven are going to miss C.F. Spud. He was a great Christian man who love his church. I am going to miss him and his singing. The song oh what a savior was my favourite when he song it in church. He now in Heaven not suffering anymore.

To a man who loved Christ and his family dearly. Still hear him singing I want to walk all over Heaven with you with his wife by his side. A faithful prayer warrior.
Pray God draws ever closer to his family.

My precious, darling husband. I love you more than mere words can express. I know God needed another angel and that he got a wonderful one. One day I will see you again and you can show me what Heaven really is. I knew what it was on earth. If I had my life to do over again…I’d have found you sooner so I could love you longer. Until I see you again, I love you. Your Charlotte
