    I wanted to take this time to express my deepest condolence to you for the loss of Doris. Although her physical presence is no longer with us; her loving memories will live on in our hearts. During my time of grief I found comfort in the holy writings found in God’s Word. The man Job in (Job 14:14) asked “If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?”. With heartfelt compassion, Jesus answered in (John 5:28,29)-” Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life”. Imagine a resurrection or a bringing back to life. And right here on earth.–(Ps.37:29)-“The righteous themselves will posses the earth. And they will reside forever upon it”. Jesus (John 5:28) was relaying a promise from his heavenly Father-Jehovah-(Ps.83:18) who at (Titus 1:2) says is a “God who can not lie”. I pray that you will be able to draw comfort from these scriptural thoughts as I did. May our Heavenly Father grant you peace.

    I rejoice with Ed and Doris together again…their wait has been long. But my life will not be so full and a big part of my heart will be missing without her. My thoughts, prayers and love are with every one of you!!

    Dear Lisa and John, I am so very sorry to not be in town for the service and to give you big warm hugs of comfort and love. You were her world and you knew that most assuredly. She was a hard worker in so many dimensions and so was your dad. I loved seeing them every now and then in the school district connections. My prayers are for your peace of mind and for God’s comforting love to surround you. Please know that I am thinking of you! Hugs and blessings, Mary

    Lisa and John, I’ve seen the love your parents gave you growing up, and the love they shared with me. No more truer friends than Ed and Doris exist. I’m proud to have known them both and see the results of their love flourish in you and your families. Always, JACK
