Momma D, I will miss you so much! You gave me momma hugz + shared many times the story of the midnight celebration of your + Don's birthday. The day before you passed, I asked if I could sit on your bed and you said " yes, just don't pee on it". Spunky you! Whenever I would visit, you'd make me promise to come back, that last day you didn't ask me. I think we both knew you were going to see Jesus and your Don. I thank your family, especially Karla for including me in your life. As you always said to your brother, it's your job to turn out the light. You will never dim in our memories. I love you.

Karla, Brian and the entire family, We are so sorry for your loss. It is heartbreaking to think of her as gone. She will always be remembered, from the jokes to the spunk. She was such fun. Always made us feel like we were part of the family. Always welcoming us and treating us like we belonged. We know how much she loves, and has missed Don, so we are finding comfort in knowing they are together again. Joking and dancing and sharing their eternal love. Please know you are each in our thoughts and prayers. May you find peace in knowing she is happy and whole again, find comfort in knowing she is resting in the arms of Jesus, and joy in the millions of beautiful memories you share. Our Deepest Sympathy, Len and Loretta

Doris was a long time part of my life and was kind enough to treat me as one of her own. She so loved her children and grandchildren, and of course, Don. She is happily reunited with him now. God bless and keep them both.

My beautiful friend. I'm going to miss your spunk and laugh. I know your happy and healthy again. And most assuredly back kicking up your heals with the love of your life . We will meet again one day.
