    Aunt Doris was one of the funniest people I ever knew. I think she inherited her sense of humor from her dad and My grandfather. She’ll be missed by all her family. Love, Linda Cooper-Smith

    Doris was a wonderfully strong-willed, strong-physically lady. We miss her dearly. God bless you, Doris, and all of your family.

    My mother had a servants heart. She was steadfast in her faith in Jesus Christ and enjoyed giving to others.

    The Lord blessed our family with incredible people of faith. Grandma Doris was one of them. She told me often that she prayed for me faithfully, every day. Every time she visited, she brought an array of food and snacks, including my favorite maple syrup; and she always remembered to send me a birthday card, with an encouraging word.
    She was faithful to the Lord, and her church; they were also faithful to her.
    She will be missed; but I take great courage in knowing her work here is finished, and she is with Jesus now.
    “Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us Doris, as an example in the Faith, before she was ours, she was yours. We return her to your loving care.”

    I will always remember going over to her house and playing in the backyard with the family when I was growing up. She loved God and she prayed for us. We will all miss her but we will always have those memories of our time spent together.

    We will miss Aunt Doris greatly.. She was an inspiration to me and my wife, Sharon. She always kept in touch with us by card and letter.. Her last birthday card to Sharon was mailed 8 days before her passing.. She told us that she loved us and prayed for us.
