I didn't realize Doris or Dorie, as my Sarah called her haspassed to our real home. I lived next door to Doris for several years. She was a dear and precious friend. She helped me when my son was killed in 1987 by holding my hand and talking through many nights. I know she is missed and we'll loved. She sure could make me laugh. I love her very much. It's very late but my deepest condolences and looking forward to our real home.

I don't have the words that should probably be said, except we were members of the Mills family that always loved each other and still do. Our families were very precious although like everyone else we had problems but never lost our family ties. You are no longer in painðŸ™ðŸ™ â¤â¤

Doe, I don't know how to put into words what my heart wants to say. We have been through a lot together. Shared so much of our lives, made so many memories. Shared a few tears and laughed till we cried together. Thank you for the love,laughter, grace,more memories than I can count and for being one of the best "bonus" mom's God ever put on this earth. I will miss you more than words can say. Love, Deb.
