My thoughts and prayers are with you during the loss of your precious Mother and Grandmother.
May God bless each of you with His strength, comfort and peace. Mrs Doris was a precious lady, always. Heaven has indeed gained an angel.
I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Doris.
It was a blessing to know this sweet lady...don't know of a time when I saw her that she wasn't smiling. It is a blessing that her suffering is over....cherish all the great memories and she will live forever in your hearts!
To the family of Doris ... my sincere prayers are with you during this time of loss of an amazing woman and human being. I could write so much about her kind giving spirit as I remember. I am cousins with her through my mother’s side of the family I believe it is. My mother Mary Jane Hilpert McBroom and my grandmother Marie Womack Hilpert always had kind words to speak also about Doris. She even taught me a few things about working in her floral shop in 2000. She will be extremely missed and remembered by all those who love her. Sincerely, Angela (Angie) McBroom Wanderaas

I was saddened to hear of the passing of sister Doris. I have a lot of fond memories of her when I was at Trenton. She was a special Christian lady with a love for her church, family and God. But I'm thankful that she is now in heaven and that someday I'll see her again. Praying for the family during this time.
May God comfort you all and turn your sorrow into fond memories. Ms. Doris was a wonderful lady who always had a big smile on her face every time you saw her. She was always so kind and helpful in the store.
Take comfort in the fact that she will be remembered in such a wonderful and positive way.
Beth I know how hard it is to lose such a loving part of your life. Please know that you’re in my every prayer.
Praying for your family as you go forward just as Ms. Doris would want you to.
Dear Family of Doris,
Many years ago Doris joined Explorer’s Bible Study and I was given the privilege of knowing one of the finest persons I have ever known. Doris was a ray of sunshine everywhere she went. She was a beautiful witness of a trusting faith in her Lord. She told me when she was diagnosed with cancer that it was a win/win situation. If she was healed that was a win but if she was not then she won even more because she would go to be with Jesus! What a way to live your life! I will never forget that and will never forget Doris. Her faith spoke volumes to us all and those of us at Explorer’s Bible Study celebrate her life as we grieve her loss. May u be comforted that her beautiful smile is smiling at Jesus. Love in Christ, Marcia Cunningham
Sweet Mrs. Doris, you were a true picture of Christ. You were that Proverbs 31 Lady. You treated our family like we were part of your family the years we were there. And made sure to stay in touch all these years later. We dearly love you and will miss you. But we will see you again in GLORY! To your family, We know the pain you all feel. We pray for comfort that only our Sweet Jesus can give. We pray for Rest and Strength for each of you. We love y’all.
Stanley and I are so very sorry to hear about Mrs Doris.
She was a dear sweet lady and will be missed by all who knew her. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Crisp Family - Ms. Doris really made a difference in my granddaughter's (Kortnee) life. Kortnee came home a couple of months ago and said "I'm going to go make pickles with Ms. Doris". She is proud of those pickles. She immediately fell in love with her. Kortnee will forever love and miss her. Prayers for you all.
Mrs. Doris will be missed greatly by many. She was a lovely lady and a very sweet person. She was my florist for over 28 years. I loved her and always enjoyed going into the Blossom Shop and just visiting with her. She was kind, thoughtful, and caring. I know she is enjoying being in the company of her Saviour. Praying for the family as you go through this difficult time.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know she is rejoicing with The Lord. She was such a great example of what a Christian lady should be. She will missed by many. We are praying for peace & comfort during this difficult time. Love & Prayers
