Jack & Jonna – Our thoughts are with you; so sorry for your loss. Doris was a wonderful person and a woman of true grace.
A beautiful woman with a lovely, soothing voice and a heart of gold. I especially marveled at the strength of her faith as she faced the difficulties of life. The last time I saw her I asked her how she was, and she said, “Pretty good.” I joked, “Pretty” AND “Good”! Indeed she was. God bless all of the family as you give thanks for her life and all she has meant to you.
Jack: We are very sorry to hear of Doris' passing. We will trust that the Lord's love and grace will strengthen you in this hour. Friends: K. Joe & Janet Godwin
Jack (Bill as we know you), we are sorry to hear of Doris passing. We missed both of you at our Parsons High School class of 1956 reunion this year. We heard you had planned on coming but was unable to attend due to Doris's illness. You are in our thought and prayers.
Jack & Family…. I am so sorry that this world lost such a wonderful woman. She was the true meaning of class and grace. It was a honor to have known her and I look forward to seeing her again one day. I shall never forget her kindness and the softness of her voice. I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
