I will miss aunt Doris very much. She was like another mother to me and I was always welcome in her home. I would go there on holidays when I was in the Army in Georgia when I couldn’t make it home. She was very kind and giving and I will never forget her. The love for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren was an example to all.
May she be in peace and tranquility in God’s hands.
Love in Christ.
