Doris you a true woman of God, an example of strength and love, I love you. You were such a wonderful Grandma to my children and grandchildren and a wonderful friend to me. My heart is in deep sorrow for now, but I can't wait till we see each other in heaven and I can hug you. I'm so sorry I didn't say bye when I left.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Doris. My heart aches with yours. She was a beautiful soul with a heart of gold. She was an amazing example of the woman of Proverbs 31. I know she is now rejoicing in the presence of our Lord and with her husband. She will be greatly missed until we meet again.
Always in my heart!
