For years, on my personal fb info... I've had a list of people I admire. I chose ordinary people that I know personally. Mrs. Fearrington was one of those. She made a huge impact on my life and probably had no idea. A quiet servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whom she now joins in paradise â™¥

Tom,

I was saddened to learn of Doris' passing. Doris was one of the first people I met when I moved to Columbia in 1977. Working with her taught me a great deal about how to deal with coworkers and the public. May all your good memories sustain you and Tommy during this difficult time.
