Missing you so much Momma! Tomorrow is my birthday and always one of the hardest days since I always think about the story you told me about when I was born. You were the absolute best Mom a girl could have ever had and such an influence on Ashlyn as she grew into a beautiful young lady. We miss you and think about you everyday!

It was so wonderful to know Mrs. Doris, you knew she was child of God, her light shined everywhere she went, I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting her at Liberty, so loving. Always loved hearing her amens and hallelujah when the pastor would be preaching, you will be truly missed.

Lonnie, your Doris was a bright shining star in God's Kingdom. It was my heart felt pleasure to know her, to watch her
smiling face, her energy, her love of God spreading sunshine everywhere. May the time come soon for you when all
memories bring only a smile to your heart. God be with you til you meet Doris again.

What an amazing woman. I can see her dancing on streets of gold waving her red Jesus flag singing Praise the Lord with the Heavenly Choir. Doris played an amazing part in my Christian walk. I can see her beautiful smile her encouraging words always winning others to Christ. I will miss her so much but I will always remember her in my heart. I Can Only Imagine song runs through my head when I think of the expression she had when she first saw Jesus. Till we're together again Doris in heaven I...

Uncle Lonnie, Linda, Mike and Tricia and family,

It is because of her influence and faith that I renewed my faith in God. Please take comfort in knowing she has gained her...
