  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.”

  5. 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. ❤️🤗
