Memories and Condolences
for Doris Baucom

Not sure what to say?





Joe and Family. Doris will always be a wonderful memory and have a special place in my heart. I am really sad but know she is in a happy place. I tried to call but was connected to the wrong Baucom residence. We are in Hampton, VA and had ice and snow on Monday night and Tuesday. My prayers are with you and the family.
