Our thoughts & prayers are with you. May God bless & sustain you & grant you strength,peace,grace,serenity & a strong faith. One "glorious day" in God's timing we shall all join on that "Golden Shore",what a "Reunion" that will be,just as the "Reunion" it must have been when Doris was reunited with her loved ones gone before her. The spirit is eternal & Doris' spirit will forever remain with her loved ones in every bright,shining star & every beautiful,colorful rainbow & in the clouds & the sun & in all that you say & do. Matthew 10:30 says that every hair on our heads are numbered & Ecclesistes 3 says that there is a time & place & a reason & a season for everything under the Heavens & God is in control.Doris will certainly be missed as she was such a pleasant lady & dear friend. We have missed her at Wyalusing Senior Center. I was happy to have the privilege to know Doris & happy to have had the privilege of sharing prayer with her & Donnie last week when we visited. God took another "Angel" Home!!
God bless,comfort & cherish you with your precious memories to hold near & dear to your hearts!! We send our love!!
