I met Doris at MGC and knew right away she was an extraordinary person. She became a dear friend who was in my wedding in '92, and I was in hers in '93. We stayed in touch until just a few years ago. I just learned of the tragic news two weeks ago and have been reeling ever since. I offer my heartfelt sympathy to her family (whom she loved dearly). Few people are as kind and wonderful as Doris. God bless all of you at this very difficult time. May it bring you some comfort to know that many people share in your great loss.

To Mrs. Spillers and Family:
I am truly sorry to find out about Doris. As you know Mr. Wilbur's favorite words were "LOOK A HERE" well, she's in heaven with him. So, I'm sure she will be missed but you will carry her in your hearts everyday. May God Bless you and your family and try and be strong for her children. Mrs. Melonee N. Miller

I was very saddened to hear about the death of Doris. I was priviledged to have had her as a student in high school. She was a beautiful person inside and out. My prayers are with all of the family and the community at this very sad time. Faye Lester

During our years on ministry staff at FBC Ft. Valley, Doris was in our youth group and choir from 1979-1986. She was one of the most precious girls we ever knew. Watching her mature in her faith in Christ during those years and then, just 2 years ago at a Touch of Glory reunion, seeing that she still walked closely with the Lord is a comforting reminder that she now celebrates in Heaven in the direct presence of her Savior. We are richer for having known her.

I learned yesterday evening of Doris' passing and am so sad to think the world is without such a sweet person whose smile and voice I remember well as a childhood friend in Fort Valley and the sister of my pal, Leann. There are no words for the unfairness of her loss. I wish peace for Mrs. Spillers and all of her family. May God bless them.

I was blessed to have been associated with the entire Spillers' family during the 1980's and Doris was such a wonderful young person. I am saddened by the news of her death. My prayer is that the family will feel the very real comforting presence of God at this difficult time.

Doris was truly a gift to people who knew her. She was one of the kindest people that I have ever known. We went to MGC and UGA together and I am honored to call her friend. She was always smiling, always kind and she lived her life as an example of her beliefs. I am sure there was a big celebration in heaven when she walked through the gates and heard the Father say, "Welcome home, well done, my precious daughter."

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her mother, sister, husband and especially her children. She was a wonderful mother and will leave a legacy for her children to follow. I saw her last Saturday feeding Patrick a slice of Pizza at Jon's Sports Park. Her children were always by her side in the grocery store or at the Sport’s Park
She always had a smile for those she met. We do not know why this tragic thing happened, but we do have comfort in the fact that she is in Heaven and God knows the reason for everything that happens.
