Doris was our wonderful neighbor for many years. She was like a grandmother to my three children. We will miss her so much but know that she is with the Lord and Miss Ruth. She was a great friend to my parents, Sally and Dave Shelton too. I am praying for her family at this difficult time.

Doris was a special person to the Burton family. She and Margie (Mom) were dear friends. The last time I saw her was in October when I was at FBC the day before Mom's funeral. I was so glad to see her as we had several phone visits once Mom was here in the Phoenix area with me. She was a dear sweet lady!
