To the Spink Family: I will miss my beach buddy and my online game buddy. Doris was the sunshine on the Ironwood property in the Sunshine State. Our food tastings and "Old Fashioned Cookouts" will always be a sweet memory and place a smile on my face when I remember Doris and Coquina Beach.

To the Spink family:
We shall allways miss Doris, and her continuing kindness to us. Ironwood 8 will never be the same without her smile, her laughter, her projects, her computer activities and most especially, without the stream of photos and calls from all of her loving children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

We shall miss having Doris and Stan as our guests at the beach during all of the winter vacations.

With Sympathy,
Dr. Janet Coyle

Dick & Carol:

Please accept our prayers and sympathy in this loss. You both have been in our prayers a lot in the past 6 months. Hope all will begin to smooth out for you and that your blessings will begin to multiply!

I did a funeral a couple of weeks ago and used this maybe it will apply!

When we stand and see a ship going over the horizon, we say she is gone! But over on the other shore there are folks that are saying, here she comes!

Please be blessed in this trying time!
