I worked with Doris at Quality Mills. I always enjoyed talking to her. My condolences to the family. Cherish your memories.
Dear family,
My heart aches with the deep sorrow you are enduring.
In the warmth of God’s love, may you find comfort in His assurance that “He will wipe every tear from our eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” – Revelation 21:3,4
He declares that death is an “enemy that will be destroyed.” – 1 Corinthians 15:26
Knowing that our sorrow will one day be just a memory and that through Christ, our loved ones will be resurrected, comforts our hearts.
We grieve, but not as those without hope. – 1 Thessalonians 4:13
Love from a stranger,
