Doris' Homegoing
I was deeply sadened to learn of Doris' homegoing. We all rejoice knowing she is now with her Lord. However, we who are left behind will miss her presence with us. I still remember our days in grade school at Parkesburg. Doris and I frequently would share our, lunches which we carried to school each day. She was a good friend.
