Doris, My heart is broken, didn't get to attend the funeral because I thought it was going to be the following Saturday. I praise God, I spent two hours with you the last time you were in the hospital, making sure you had gotten right with the Lord. I feel great, knowing that you are absent from that old sick body and present with the Lord!!! Love, Cuz Paulette.
