I am so sad that my very good friend Doris has gone to her Heavenly home. I will miss our phone calls, the only communication we had for so long. I am so sorry I didn’t get to attend Doris’s service, I was at the funeral home making Bill’s arrangements. We will be sharing the same sad time now, but I know the three, Joe, Doris, and Bill, will be together again. May our Lord Jesus watch over your family and take care. Love Doris
