I was blessed to know Doris for as long as I did. She was a very special "sister". She definitely knew how to live and enjoy life to its fullest. We should all take lessons from her. We love you all and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Joan, Martha, Betty, Allen,
Truly sorry to hear of Ms Fulks passing. Living next door to you all and Ms Fulks for many years, and even though I had not seen in her lately, I did think of her from time to time and miss all the times we had off of Hickory Road. You will all be in our thoughts and in our prayers.
