The Lord took home a good and godly woman--my dear Aunt Doris. I have only the fondest memories of her when growing up. She was gentle, kind, and loving to all her nephews and nieces and I'm blessed to have had such a beautiful Aunt in my life. Uncle Wallace, Donna Lynn, Glenda and Terry...stay strong and carry on the spark of love she had for all.
So sorry for your loss. Doris was a beautiful lady, great friend an neighbor.
Mr. Brown and family- You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
we were so sad to hear the news about Doris. She was so happy on her birthday.May God be with all of her family and help them get through this.
Terry & Glenda, I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so very sorry to hear about Doris. She was the epitome of the Proverbs 31:10 wife. Her love for her husband and family showed in her every word, look, or action. I have never known a kinder person in my life. Heaven truly did gain an angel. I love all of you, and my prayers are for your comforting. Love, Peggy and Roger
