Hi Raymond: I just wanted to send my condolences in the passing of your grandmother. Jim Davis told me. A loss of someone that close is difficult, but Jesus said He is always there for us to cling to. May God bless you and your family.

To Johnny and all the Family
I wanted to be there with everyone. Illness prevented that. I will miss my sister greatly. Words cannot convey my grief at this time. Just know that I am thinking of each of you and send prayers for you and all the kids.

Johnny and Family,
I'm sorry I couldn't be there. Doris was a special cousin to me. I'll miss the laughs and family stories that we shared when she would visit and the great time we always had at the family reunions. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love You All

Johnny and Family,
I'm sorry I couldn't be there. Doris and I were more like sisters instead of first cousins. I will always remember the good times we shared growing up, the wonderful memories (the fencepost), and the family reunions. I will miss her and always love her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love you all

Ms Burrows was a wonderful women. She was not family to me but might as well been. She always had a smile her on face no matter what she was doing. I grew up with her grandson which was like a brother to me. I use to eat sunday dinner with Ms Burrows she was a great cook. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Mrs. Doris lived 2 doors down from my parents, and growing up I played with her grandchildren. I'll never forget the homemade ice cream she used to make and share with us. A very sweet lady, will be missed by us all. She did enjoy her garden and flowers, had the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood and would share some extra crops she harvested out of her garden. My thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends.
