To Doris' family,
Doris was so special to me and I will truly miss visiting with her. I loved her stories about growing up and her travels. I will also miss her beautiful smile. Doris loved the Lord so much and I know He is so happy to receive such a beautiful angel into his love and care.

Losing one's mother is hard, even with the knowledge that she will never have pain again and will never be forgotten. Remember her smile, her kind heart, and how many people loved her. Aunt Doris was such a wonderful lady. She will be greatly missed.

My great aunt leaves this earth with nothing but fond. memories from me growing up and visiting her and uncle John and her children in Blytheville. Loved as we grew older she moved closer to us. I will be forever grateful for the role she played in my mothers life and helping her to become the Godly wife and mother she is today.
