Dearest Family,
Our heart goes out to you, but we know where our precious one is and just praise God that she no longer will ever go through any suffering!
Doris was so very dear to me (Sandi) as we sat together at PC for the services and shared with each other every time. She was such a precious little lady and so very dear to my heart. I will miss her so at our services. May you all feel our Lord’s arms around you and take solace in the fact that your precious mother is with her Lord! She will be missed so, but I wouldn’t wish her back. We love you all.
I am sorry for your loss. May God bless you. Marc & Grace .

Dearest Linda, Donna & family,
So sorry for the loss of your precious Mother/grandmother. She was always a bright spot to me sitting there in church and being so friendly and loving when she spoke to me. We will all miss her.
I am the cousin of ‘Little Doris’. My daddy Quimby Sirman married your mother and dad. My mother was Evelyn Crippen Sirman and the Aunt of your mother and your late Uncle Donald. My name is Kathlyn Sirman Kremer. I was so sorry to hear of your mothers’ passing. But, be sure that she is in heaven with our Lord. May He Bless and Keep You in His Love.
Donna and Linda,
I will be praying for you as you celebrate your mother’s life and mourn her death.
I’m so glad you are home Donna, and I’m also glad I was able to see your Mom again before she went to be with the Lord. I want You and Linda to know how sorry I’am that Doris is gone, but know that the Lord is with you and will see you through.
