Although no words can really help to ease the
loss you bear, may it bring a share of comfort
to know others care.

Bob and Family,
Our thoughts of sympathy and prayers are with you at this time. Doris was a very special person with a very special smile and we loved her very much. May God give you comfort in the days ahead and give you a peace that only He can give when a loved one has been called home.
Bob and Family
I am so sorry to hear about
Doris. I have thought about
her so much since hearing she was so sick. I have been meaning to write you telling you I had her on my prayer list but I will continue to remember all of you. My very best to you.
Bob, you and your family are in my prays. May God richly bless you.
Bob and family – I have such great memories of Doris from when we worked many years ago at American Enka in the Lab.
Also, have enjoyed playing bridge with her in more recent years.
She will be greatly missed in so many areas where she was active.
Just want you to know I’m thinking of you.
Sincerely, Martha
