We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Doris welcomed us to the neighborhood a few months ago with open arms and invited us to her church. She was a sweet soul who allowed God’s light to shine through her. Doris is now united with her Lord and Savior, and I am sure so is dancing with JOY. There will still be sorrow, but I pray you all fine comfort in Jesus Christ.
My condolences to the family. I loved to hear Doris sing in Church it just gave me goosebumps. What a beautiful lady inside and out, always smiling and hugging.
Doris was beautiful inside and out she will be missed and I guarantee she is sitting right by Jesus and talking his ears off with excitement of being home with Willie!
We are so very sorry and our hearts hurt for you all. But what a blessing to know you ( we) will see her again. She was an awesome lady. Her smile will be missed. Hugs to all
Martin and Tami❤️
So glad we were part of the Curtis Clan. Loved you so much Mom C. We will see you again in glory when we arrive. Allen and Kim Lammott
My heartfelt condolences to the family.. She was always such a kind person who was never afraid to show her love of the Lord. May you find comfort in the message of Dr. Seuss, “Death ends a life; Not a relationship.”
Doris was a beautiful lady that loved Jesus with everything she had. She will be missed deeply in the time I got to meet her. She glowed with the love of Jesus. She was a smiling loving talking testimony for Jesus every where she went. ❤️🤗
