Please accept my sympathy to the loving Husband,Daughters,Family & Friends in the painful loss of your dear Doris. She was a devoted Wife & Mother & will be so missed by all who knew & loved her. Hopefully you will be comforted by the Bible Verses that follow: Rev21:4-5 “AND HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES AND DEATH WILL BE NO MORE,THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY”

The last months are bittersweet. I cared for my Mama and I am happy to have had this time with her. She was very concerned for me and never about herself. We had good times discussing memories. I know now my mother was a special gentle, kind woman. I am proud to be her daughter. I want to thank the Hospice team for their wonderful help and care they gave my Mama!
