I loved Mrs. Doris. She was a beautiful lady and she definitely had an impact on my life! I'm looking forward to seeing her again.

My Aunt Doris was such an inspiration to me - she got me started on genealogy and we loved to share the information we found. Her books and research are still helping us find our ancestry !! She was always so enthusiastic and sharing with herself and her time. She will be missed. Her Dad and my Dad were Martin brothers ! I am grateful I had the chance to know such a wonderful woman !

I loved Ms. Doris so much! She was a delightful lady with a zest for life. I enjoyed her beautiful art work and talking with her about what book she was reading at the time. We both had connections to Hidden Springs resort in Tylertown, MS so we would often look at pictures of the Bogue Chitto river and talk about "the old days". She will be greatly missed! At least I know she is now pain-free. She can see and hear all the beauty of Heaven and she's at home with Jesus.
