Although the span from Earth to heaven is a journey of five hundred years, when one whispers a prayer or even silently meditates , God is nearby and hears. I'm praying to him today to give your family comfort and strength. Peace and Love,

Doris is a very sweet, loving, and kind lady. Doris and I were co-parents and we shared not only tears, but joyous laughter. She cherished our little treasures. Today I see Doris carrying her wonderful grand-treasure, while holding Matthew's hand; walking down the streets of gold.

Doris is a loving,sweetlady whom I had the pleasure of being co-mother with. Doris loved her little treasures we both had many memories to share. She has seen our Savior and I can just see Doris holding her treasure and holding Matthew 's hand walking the streets of Gold.

Doris and I go waaay back as kids - to Sunday School at St John's Meth Church (now Myers Mem UMC), and twelve years of school. I always enjoyed her company and sense of humor and am sad to hear of her passing. Peace to her friends and family

Doris was a ray of light, kind and open, one of the first friends I made when we moved here when I was in grade school. I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her, Godspeed Doris.

I am shaken with grief. Doris sent me an Instagram note of love last week, I can't believe this sweet peep is no longer on the planet. I so regret not meeting her at the beach this summer. One more hug.
My deepest condolences to all who love her. Heaven has another sweet and generous angel. I will miss her like I miss Hopper, who we both recently shared memories of and dearly loved. God bless.
