I am so sorry to hear of Mrs.Doris passing. She was the hardest working lady I’ve known. She was always so kind and cheerful. Mom and I visited her many times , she was always smiling and welcoming us into her home.
You all, are in my prayers. I will not be able to get there but I will definitely be thinking of you. I’m sending love and prayers.
