Still missing you and I think of you often.

Doris King was the quintessence of class and had a heart filled with love and care for everyone. I have been blessed to have her in my life and I will miss her dearly. She was a Godly woman and I will always remember the day she called to say she was praying for me and my family regularly. She was a second mom to our son and he and I will forever appreciate, miss, and remember her. She has touched our lives and hearts and she is now with the loved ones that she missed dearly. I miss you Doris my dear friend and I will love you forever, Nancy
