I will miss Doris’s sharp wit. Take comfort in knowing that she is no longer limited by her earthly body. Even tho this was kind of sudden, I’m sure if given a choice she would have choosen to have it end this way.
Something I have seen before that I think fits:
A golden heart stopped beating, two busy hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best.
May God be with you in the days ahead.
Thoughts and prayers for you all in this sad time. Doris was a wonderful person who I have in a lot of my memories as I grew up.
