To the family of a very sweet lady. I was your paper lady when Desert Storm was going on.My husband Dale Pettigrew at the time and I carried the paper route at Green Level.We loved Miss Doris as we called her and when we left the paper route I would always see her at Wal-Mart When days are dark remember that Miss Doris was carried by Angels singing Praises to the Lord placed her in the Lord's arms and as He stroked her brow He said rest my child rest. And knowing she will be there will make it easy to go home.(Heaven ).
