Our deepest sympathy to the Hand Family. Doyce was a wonderful lady. She enjoyed life and always had a positive outlook no matter the situation. I met Doyce at a Young Family Reunion in Guntersville, AL and knew immediately I had a friend for life. Jerry and I were deeply saddened to hear about Doyce. We know heaven is a little sweeter and we will be with her there longer than we had her here. She will be missed, our prayers are with you all.
Lovingly,

Our sincerest sympathy is extended to all of Mrs. Hand's family. We came to know her while she was a resident at Covenant Place, across-the-hall neighbor of Evelyn Boozer, my mother. Mrs. Hand was always so pleasant, reaching out a hand to touch everyone who greeted her and reflecting what a genuinely nice person she was. She will surely be missed.
