Doris touched many hearts with her beautiful voice and ability to make people smile. On earth she was physically limited, but in Heaven she can dance with Angels.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-4; There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Raelynn Randecker, and the staff at FHN Medical Center.
