Dear Kelly and Kim and families....We were both so sorry about the loss of your mom. Time has marched on and losses are inevitable. God had a plan when He made man and woman. It was to be born .....grow.....learn from life's lessons....then make the ONE decision that tells our story...do we choose to love and serve God....or do we not! We sooooo remember the times we all had the opportunities to share with all of you and we hold it close to our hearts with love and fondness....and forever will! Doris loved you girls deeply....she was proud of you as well as the rest of her family! Now her eternal rest time has come..... and God knows the plan! He always has....He always will! She will be missed and there will be a void left behind. But the remaining question is....what decisions about life will you make? Will the answer be YES Lord or no....I have my own agenda. Doris would want no other answer than YES. It is the legacy that most parents desire for their children and families because it gives unconditional love, overwhelming joy and happiness and eternal peace! Rest in PEACE, dear Doris....and may you be dancing, laughing and singing with the angels for all eternity! We love you, Kim and Kelly....and you will forever be a part of our hearts! Rejoice, enjoy and honor your lives with wisdom, comfort and God given knowledge.....one day at a time, one moment at a time...one problem at a time.....then hand the rest off to God....then let Him drive you thru your life's journey! Prayers and love always....Kevin and Diane McMahon
