Doris, you know how sorry I am that I can't be there to give you a hug. All that I can do for you is to send my prayers. I took Communion with Rhett Christmas Eve, and we prayed for your family, and I lit a candle in memory of Uncle "TT". All of our love, Stephanie

Doris I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Words are inadequate at a time like this. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your memories will sustain you. (I hope you remember me as we taught together when you were the librarian at NMS). Take care. Gloria Beamer
