Doris,you will be truly missed but,always with inside of me,close to my heart.
You were always friendly to me and to my family.
You were always a kind friend to me.
I wished that I was able to see you in person before the Good Lord took you away to his home.
You and George cared about me and that was indeed a wonderful gift indeed knowing you.
I am sorry that it was nearly six years ago,when we had probably have seen each other at St. Bernadette Roman Catholic church .
I always thought about you. I remember that we always chatted with each other after the 9:00am or the 11:00am Mass on Sundays.
Even though I switched to St. John The Baptist Catholic Community Church. You were always my friend. Now you,can join your loving husband George,and meet up again with my dad Steve who you were friends with too. You are no longer in pain and you are no longer ill ,God decided to take you to his home. As heartbreaking it is to not be able to hug and kiss you in person. I know that someday we will meet again. But until then,I know that you are looking down on me and your family members and your friends. I will definitely miss you Doris. This is not goodbye,but,I will surely see you again. Xoxo
Rest in peace Doris my dear sweet friend.
Lots of Love❤❤❤❤ Your friend, Kate
