she never met a stranger, nor did she have a lack for words. I loved her dearly and will never forget her.

It is hard to realize that Doris has been gone these many years. I can still hear her laugh and tell funny things. Such a love she was just like family.

So sorry to hear of Mrs Doris dying. We had fun visiting at the hospital and talking about the WMU at Poplar Corner. She
went with Daisy Alexander and Freeda Walker. So sad she is gone. Virginia Hart
