I met Doomie when he moved to Philly to marry my bestie, Crystal. He was such a nice person and I could see how happy my friend was. I remember the day they got married. We all had such a wonderful time. He and my dad became very close, both being from the South. To Crystal and family, my prayers and condolences go out to you all for such a time as this. Take comfort in the fact that you will meet again. Love you all very much
