Dear Penny, Darlene & Perry,
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom, Doris.
I only met your Mother a couple of times, but I know she touched many hearts and loved her life, her family, friends & her Grand (and Great-grand) children!
I found the 7 min. video shown to be very touching, and found myself tearing up, having been to some of the events shown with Sherry, then reflecting on the moment as the Family photos were shown.
I feel blessed that I got to help design...

We cherish the precious memories we have made with Mamaw through the years. We are blessed that she got to spend time with us during the holidays. Christmas always reminds us of her and this year it will not be the same. Although she is gone from this Earth, she is forever in our hearts.

We pray that ministering angels stand guard along side your family as you lay your precious mother to eternal rest with the Lord. We will remember Doris and her love of life and adventure. A bright light was distinguished here on earth but she shines bright in heaven. We will see her again on the other side as she is more in our future now than in our past. Peace to you all at this time of loss.
