Loretta, Ronnie and Mike, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Unfortunately I just read the notice on line and it is Monday night and I missed visitation and the funeral or I would have been there. I remember when my Mom died, Ronnie had stopped by the house, I missed seeing him but that meant a lot to me that he came by. It has been years since I have seen you'll but think about all of you very often. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
With much love, Kathy

Mrs.Doss, Ronnie and Mike, I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Doss. He was a very special man and he was very much loved by all of the Edgewood Drive kids from the early years. He used to laugh and joke with us and we all thought the world of him. I still have some tables that he made for my mom years in my living room. Please accept my condolences and I will keep you all in my prayers. Annette Dunn Firth
