I'm really going to miss you. But you're not suffering anymore. And I remember your last text to me. You said that you love me and you ended all of your txt like that. I'm so blessed to be able to have been a part of your life. I'm really going to miss you Aunt Doris. 😢😢😢 My heart aches right now. Rest now my sweet Aunt.

I am so sorry for your loss! I met Doris many years ago through our jobs. She worked for Texas and I for Arkansas. We developed a bond through our Christian identity even though we did not share the same denomination. Doris was such a good person! I never heard her complain. She was a joy to know. I did not see her after she retired but we kept in contact via text. She is already missed!

My deepest and sincere condolences to Billy, Natasha, McGowan, and the entire family. I will always remember Doris as a genuine friend with so many qualities that I admired. Throughout the years, we never neglected to send Happy Birthday greetings to one another, and this tradition made our birthday mornings extra special!

Words cannot express the sorry I feel. Doris was such a dear friend, prayer partner, encourager and caring person. She was a real fighter. Most of all she was a woman faith who loved the Lord. Therefore, I’m encouraged by the Lord to, sorrow not as one without hope. We shall meet again. May we be faithful until then🙏🏽😘💕

I would just like to say that I appreciate the life Doris lived. I was not able to be around her but for only a few occasions. I knew her only through the eyes of her daughter. May God give comfort and peace to the family friends and love ones. I’m sending the condolences of the folks who couldn’t be there.
