Doris was an awesome lady and looked after me at State Farm like a true mother. I know she loved me and I truly loved her. My you find comfort in knowing your Mother was loved and admired by so many. She shared her Christian faith with many and her life was a testimony. She was a true angel here on earth!

Ms Doris and my mom Ms Amma Dulin were best of friends the last few months. They spent a lot of time together, getting their hair done together, eating together, ( last night) fellowshipping. We will miss her beautiful face and spirit so much. She's a beautiful woman inside and out. She is with Jesus now. ❤ Lisa j
