Dear Family,
Doris was one of my favorite Christians ever! She had the most loving disposition and I just know that in Heaven shes head of hospitality and greeting. As I mentioned earlier, I lived in her home for several months and she made me and others feel like it was our home as well. I was so proud to call her a friend and sister in the Lord. This year I found something that surprised me - she sent me a check in 1999 as a wedding gift for $25 and I forgot to cash it so I still have it! What a sweet memory. May the Lord continue to bless the family. Claire Felts Gallegos 210-415-3157

My name is Claire Felts Gallegos and I went to church at Christian hope center with Doris for many years. She was one of the most loving and generous Christians I have ever met. Believing the best about everyone. She was a true mother in the faith and like a mother or grandmother to many many people. Just before I moved to Texas in 1986, I rented a room in her home For several months. father God I thank you for giving us this precious woman of God, Doris, who served you Jesus with all her ♥heart, soul and mind for so many years. She is now in heaven and I pray that you minister to her family and friends with the assurance that they will see her again if they also give their hearts to Jesus as she did. Bless each and everyone in Jesuss name I pray. Amen. Doris, I loved ❤you dearly on earth and I look forward to seeing you again and giving you a great big hug in heaven!

Doris was my Aunt and I was fortunate enough to have her in my life. She loved her Lord, family, friends and church. They loved her. Aunt Doris was easy to talk with and she helped me many times just talking it out. My prayers to my cousins and their families. She will be missed!
