I have so many great memories too many to write. you were my second home growing up. You taught me to love all and not judge. I will truly miss you. It gives me comfort that you are in heaven with the rest of our family and friends and we will see each other again

Aunt Doris will always hold a special place in my heart and memories! She was such a fun aunt and always so happy and kind. My cousins and I could almost always talk her into letting us have a sleepover. She loved God and was a genuinely good person! I know Uncle Leroy and my dad welcomed her to heaven with open arms 💕

My Mother is the best example of perfection.She is caring,dedicated,loving,smart,hard working,faithful,just to name a few words of what this woman truly was.Although she was a serious person,she had to be.She managed 5 girls,a husband,not to mention keeping the house clean,3 meals a day,and constant laundry(all those CLOTH diapers).She had a devine musical talent playing the piano & organ at home and church.She is most certainly 100% a true child of God.A big part of her heart went to animals in need and children.She loves her grandchildren soooo much.Her last ''child'' is Abby,her bearded daschund whom now lives with John and I and we are very fortunate to have that piece of her with us.I will always miss her with desparation,but she has gone home to be with her beloved husband and all her family and friends that went to heaven before her.I'm happy she didn't suffer for too long and I am one of the luckiest people to have been blessed to have this miracle of a mom.She is undeniably a very rare gem.The kingdom of heaven is truly enriched deeply,now that Doris and Leroy have returned home.I love you Mother,your baby girl Lori Ellen. P.S.S. Your son-in-law John is missing his little woman so he will just have to spoil Abby xoxo

Aunt Doris was one of my most favorite people in my life. Growing up , at times, she was like my second mom. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She will be sorely missed and I look forward to reuniting in Heaven with her again someday. Meanwhile mom ( her sister) and I will continue to keep her memory alive by sharing countless memories of their childhood and their get togethers as adults. Until we meet again ❤

Mom, You taught me that it was okay to have a Goodwill Christmas when times were hard. You showed me it was okay to accept charity from the church when dad got laid off. I saw how hard you tried to make extra money to feed 5 kids by teaching piano when you could. You always tried to provide mini vacations to locations I remember to this day. Thank you for teaching me never to give up especially through these Covid-19 times. I was in the hospital when you passed and that night I finally turned the corner. I know you were with me. I will always love you for what you did for me and our family. May God keep you in his embrace until we meet again.

Doris Williams was a great piano teacher and friend. She taught me piano lessons which I just loved. I've known her over 20 years and loved her like a mother. She did a lot of crocheting and made a lot of beautiful things. She played the piano at Murdock Christian Church and served the Lord in many other ways. My heart goes out to her 5 daughters and other family members . I cried myself when she passed away. She lived a good long life until God took her home where she is with loved ones and waiting for her family here to join her someday. Doris we all love you and you will be dearly missed.

Grandma you have no idea what you meant to me. You were like a mother to me. You always knew what to say or how to pick me up when I was down. I have so many meaningful memories that I'm sure I will get cut off before I finish saying them. I will never forget that and I will never forget you. I only wish I could've said goodbye but one day I will say hello.

Mother, how I miss you. You were always passionate when doing for others. You did so much for the church and also for our family. I loved to stand by your side to watch your hands play either the piano or organ. How beautiful the music sounded. Thank you for a wonderful upbringing. You always made sure we were clean and fed. Most importantly, you made sure we knew God. Your fourth daughter, Shereen 🕆

Mom,
What a wonderful and full life you had! We can only hope that each of us has the same. It comforts me to know that you are no longer in any physical pain or constricted by the body.
We did not always see eye to eye on our beliefs but I'm sure we agree on one important thing. God is your heavenly parent and loves you very much!
It will not be long before we all see you again. I look forward to any wisdom you have gained in the spirit world.
I love you! Your second daughter, Jacqueline.

Mom, you were my best friend. I will miss our daily conversations and everything that we shared together. You were the expert at crocheting and playing the piano. You were a wonderful mother, wife, sister, aunt, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. May you find peace in Heaven. I love you.
