Pam, Stacey, & Famalies,
I can not begin to tell you how much Ms. Doris will be missed. She was always there to do anything for everyone. She was one of the most well presented, elegant ladies, I ever knew. You all were very lucky to have a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Greatmother, like Ms. Doris. No one will ever know how much respect I had for her, and how she lived her life. I am so sad to hear of her passing, and will keep you all in my prayers, thoughts, and surround you with the Good Lord''s Love, as well as my Love.
All Our Love,
Shannon & Family

I am so sorry to hear of Jeanie's passing. She was a wonderful, caring person. She always had a word of encouragement, a kind nature, and that wonderful smile. She was so proud of her family. I hadn't seen her in several years, when I ran into her at Liberty Hospital and it was like we had coffee the day before. The pain you feel will pass. but the memories will last for ever. Savor those memories and share them with future generations. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
