I met Doris & Frank when I joined Crown Heights Baptist Church. They were the most wonderful godly couple you could meet. I truly enjoyed the short time I had with them. The world would be a wonderful place if more people followed the path Doris walked in her life - following God faithfully everyday.

Dear Carol, Don, Holly & Heather,
I met Mrs. Bishop on our drive to Dallas for a Mary Kay Seminar. We talked the whole trip. I enjoyed her so much. I also had the pleasure of meeting some of Mrs. Bishop's family members at Applebee's restaurant. They welcomed me. I will never forget your mother, Carol. Such a wonderful lady. God Bless you. Love Carol Sanchez

Don, Carol, Heather & Holly~

It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to spend time with Grandma Bishop. She was so tickled to get a May Day basket each year since moving to Kansas and it was fun to see the smile it brought to her face. You are a wonderful family and we were lucky to know Grandma Bishop.
