Susan and Randy, what a beautiful,caring and loving Mother you had!! She has touched the lives of so many and left a lasting impression that we will all cherish. She was one of "my" nurses when I had my girls and she would always say "the baby is fine, we have to take care of you" and that she did so lovingly and professionally! Now she is in the hands of her Master and her pain and suffering is over. May you find peace in this and cherish all those special memories she has left you with..you are both a very special part of her!! God bless you,

Ms. Dozier has been a life-long friend of my Mother (Clara M. Tucker). I remember her and her husband as I grew up in Mullins & the First Baptist Church. I later became a PA and she always was excited to see me when I would visit Mullins. She will be greatly missed by all the people she helped as a Nurse and a good person.
