I am so sorry to hear of Doris' passing. Beth, growing up in Sumter I remember your mom and dad as a beautiful couple that I admired. I will be unable to attend Thursday and will keep you and family in my prayers during your sadness. Hold close your many sweet memories, as these will heal your heart.
