Please accept our sincere condolences in the loss of Doris. She was a fabulous lady and we always enjoyed seeing her at our weekly bible study. She was a woman of awesome faith and loved to share it. We loved her stories. She was adorable the way she loved her big cup of coffee. We will think of her often, (mostly at coffee time.....)
