My deepest condolences to Mr Lee and Calvary Baptist family. Mrs. Doris touched many lives and was always a huge ray of sunshine, smiling at every corner she turned. I am truly saddened she is no longer with us, but rejoicing she is home with our Lord. Rest easy and fly high. Give my granddaddy a big hug for me.
Robert,Brenda and family I am so sorry for your loss ,yet we know we will see her again and it won’t be long.Someone told me when my mother passed,that nothing is lost when you know where it is .May our Lord comfort you in this time.
Doris,
Always a lady. You will be missed.
Aunt Doris, Still your presence lingers, I recall with fondness your gentle hand that brushed my hair as a little girl. Most of all I will never forget that compassionate look in your eyes, I may have lost an Aunt here on earth, but gained an angel in heaven to watch over me, Love is all there is.
Doris was the sweetest Mother In Law a girl could ask for I feel blessed to have had her in my life. I will miss your smile, and our many laughs together . You will always hold a special place in my heart and our memories I will cherish . Until we see each other again rest in peace my love
Donnie and Brenda, we are sorry for your loss and hope you find some comfort in your memories
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. During times like this we need the kind of strength that only God can provide. (Psalm 37:39)
In just a little while longer we will have the unique opportunity to welcome back our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection. (Acts 24:15)
Our tears of joy will replace our tears of pain as we embrace our loved ones. (Psalm 30:5)
Our Aunt Doris was a true sweetheart … to know her was to LOVE HER! She was a kind person and I enjoyed visiting her very much over the years. She loved coming to North Carolina and visiting NC family. She had a sweet sweet smile and a laugh I will always remember. She will be missed but God knows best and she lived a long life. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
Love and prayers to all of you. Many memories of days gone by with Aunt Doris.
My Sister Doris, I will forever miss your laughs and your sweet smile that we shared over the years. I know you are with your Lord and Savior now; I would be selfish to want you back here with me. Rest In Peace sweet lady!
