"There's a light at the end of the tunnel, there's love that's awaiting me there, all cares and troubles I will leave behind as I climb the golden stair. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, there to meet my Lord face to face, and I'll be in the Home that I longed for, saved by His heavenly grace." -Helen Parker

Jay & Sheri, Jeff & Rita and family, my deepest sympathy. I have always admired Aunt Doris. Always had a smile. She was truly a beautiful, gentle, kind woman & I'm so happy to spent many times with her. I, too Sheri am an orphan. Mom passed away in March. When I see a butterfly, I think of her. Love to you all.

It seems so strange to not have Doris working in her beautiful flower garden. She was such a classy lady, she is missed here! I am sorry for your loss, but she is in a better place where there is no pain and watching over you all. She loved her family so much, she was very proud.
