Debbie and Ricky I was sorry to hear about your Mom. Know that my prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Joe and I send our love to you and pray for your comfort.
Prayers to you and your family
My favorite Aunt that was not just an Aunt, but a second mama, a best friend, a confidant, she was everything you needed her to be and more. My children adored their Aunt Doris, and this ole’ world will not be the same without her. Go rest high Aunt Doris- you earned your wings a long time ago, but I’m glad Jesus let us keep you as long as he did. Thanks for being the sweetest Aunt and for always sticking by my side when the going got tough! Wish we all could’ve went together, but God had another plan~ I’ll see you soon tho. Waiting for the day when our eyes meet again. All our love, Dianna, Carroll and ALL the family. 💔
