It is impossible to capture the impact of a person's life in a few words, all the more so when that person has welcomed so warmly, shared so generously, encouraged so deeply, and lived so faithfully as Doris Ernst. Never at a loss for a game, always ready with words of encouragement, rarely without a plan, humbly living out her Christian faith and mission, Doris' influence on my life (and others) has been deep and long-lasting. Though saddened by her loss, and especially what that means for her family who she loved, I am glad that she is now experiencing hospitality, love and celebration in an entirely new way in the presence of Christ and those who have gone before. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am sad for you girls in the loss of your mother, but glad for her in her entrance into the Lord's presence. I can just imagine her being welcomed by the Lord and also your dad and U Dave. Makes me want to be there too. I have such good memories of both your parents, even though I haven't seen any of you recently. I will be praying for you all through these days, and wish I could be with you.

Doris had a great heart for the Lord. She used her gift of being a wonderful cook to bless many, myself included. I'll always remember her Thanksgiving feast and how she patiently taught me to make gravy. She had a great sense of humor and told fantastic stories of her childhood. Doris was like family to me during the many years I spent in Philadelphia. Later we found out one of her brothers was AWANA leader to my husband when he was younger. Doris will be missed on this side of heaven.

Doris was so willing to help others, when they were in need. We had many good times together. I loved her pies and eating Thanksgiving dinner with her family. I will see her again in Heaven. My sympathies and prayers are with you.

So many wonderful memories with the Ernst family. Always felt welcomed and love in their home. I remember all the pies and decorating gingerbread houses. Found out a lot about my German roots from the family. Love and Prayers to the family. God has welcomed another child home

She seemed to have lived such a fulfilling life. Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants."

To her credit Doris raised a wonderful daughter, Donna Elaine Hunter, who has become a very good friend of mine. My condolences to the family.
