To Mrs. Doris' family and friends,
My deepest sympathy and condolences to you all. I will miss Mrs. Doris dearly and will always have her in my heart. As we we became good friends while I took care of her at Bethany Home. I will always remember the great conversations we shared, her smile and happiness she showed when I went into her room to get her up in the morning, went in to talk, check on her or to prepare her clothes for the week. I loved and respected her very much. I will truly miss her. My prayers are with the family always.
