We will certainly miss seeing Ms Doris next door. I am truly comforted she knew our Lord and Savior and I will see her again in heaven. I will never forget her wonderful hummingbird cake. So glad we had the chance to get to know her over all these years. May your hearts be blessed and can heal over time. God bless you all!

Much love,
Terri James & Bob Babcock

Dear Penny, Darlene & Perry,
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom, Doris.
I only met your Mother a couple of times, but I know she touched many hearts and loved her life, her family, friends & her Grand (and Great-grand) children!
I found the 7 min. video shown to be very touching, and found myself tearing up, having been to some of the events shown with Sherry, then reflecting on the moment as the Family photos were shown.
I feel blessed that I got to help design & print her "Gifts by Doris" business cards a bit ago.

Sincerely,
Jim & Sherry Borecky

We cherish the precious memories we have made with Mamaw through the years. We are blessed that she got to spend time with us during the holidays. Christmas always reminds us of her and this year it will not be the same. Although she is gone from this Earth, she is forever in our hearts.

We pray that ministering angels stand guard along side your family as you lay your precious mother to eternal rest with the Lord. We will remember Doris and her love of life and adventure. A bright light was distinguished here on earth but she shines bright in heaven. We will see her again on the other side as she is more in our future now than in our past. Peace to you all at this time of loss.

To my beautiful Mom: A daughter is a little girl who grows up to be a friend. The yearly trips we used to take first as mother, daughters & grandsons, and as the boys grew up became mother and daughters will always have a special place in my heart. I will miss our weekly hour + long conversations but one day I will be able to talk to you again, until then instead of "See you in the daylight, See you in heaven". My love for you will forever be in my heart.
