It was our good fortune to have met Mr and Mrs Francis many decades ago. Over the ensuing years we spent many happy and memorable times together. Our sessions were always peaceful but highly spirited with much food, music and drinks.
Mrs Dor was a kind and loving soul, slow to anger but with a firm demeanor.Like a zephyr on a cool Michigan evening, but with steady hands, she kept her family centered.
Mrs Dors' blessings and teachings are always evident in her children.
May the family and relatives find comfort during this difficult time, and be strong for each other, knowing that her time with us was well spent.
Goodnight Mrs Dor, rest well.
Howard and Catherine.

Grandma Doris it was a true pleasure meeting you this summer ! I intended to spend a day but ended up spending a week and a half with you. We had talked many years by phone and finally got to hold hands , laugh and make a memory! I thank you for raising your daughter Juliet to be a kind, loving and genuine person. One last thank you for sharing her with me ! I know heavens gates opened wide for you and a special carpet dipped in gold was rolled out . May God rest your soul & you enjoy being with those that went before you. Xoxo 😘


Our  deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother Sister Dor (as she was so fondly called by family and friends).
        We are heart broken and will certainly miss  the phone talks with her,  and the  
"I love you ", at the end of the conversations. 
      Memories of Sister Dor will forever have a special place in our hearts. 
     "Sleep in Heavenly Peace "

Sister Doris, you will always be in our thoughts and forever be in our hearts 💕 
     The memorable moments we shared and the words of wisdom you imparted to us are indelible. 
   SIHP in the arms of "the Man up there " as you would always say.

Heartfelt condolences to the entire Francis family on the passing of Ms Doris. May god grant  you all the strength to endure the loss and May your hearts be comforted in this time of bereavement.  
I will always remember the special times me and my dad spent at your home in Detroit  and Ocala  We always admired her the way she treated  us and the dignified manner she portrayed, the added bonus was occasionally we got to see her beautiful daughters. May her soul rest in peace and May angels rise up to meet her as she transitions to her celestial  home.

My condolences to the entire Frances family on the passing of your beloved Matriarch. May God continue to bless and keep your family. I will be praying for strength healing and comfort during this difficult time. Lean on his everlasting arms. 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
To be absent from the earthly body is to be present with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Sending my Love and Blessings 🙌🏽 ❤️  to ALL 

So very thankful to have met Doris and Vendo. They were pleasure to have as Neighbors and Friends. Over the years I have met her children not all but a few and they grew up to children to be proud of. Doris was a very soft spoken woman she was wonderful at trimming bushes keeping her flowers up and being a ray of sunshine to people around her. I thank God that our paths crossed amen.

From Sister Opie and niece Kadine

      The serenity Sis Dor exhudes and that gentle kind voice of hers, always makes you want to be around her. She'll be missed, but fond memories of her will remain. Her work on earth is done and she is now resting in peace.

Ms. Francis, for the couple months I spent as your aide, I was very found of you. We shared memories of our country together. I was pleased to meet you. Rest well my dear

She was a strong supportive woman, mother, and wife. God blessed her with many children and she raised them well. She was always by her husband's side until his passing.
My condolences to the family. 

We have gained another angel to watch over us! Mom and Dad you are back together again, you two were always an awesome duo! I will hold to God’s unchanging hands to give me strength, comfort and joy. The memories of you is enough to make me smile! I will forever love and miss you! 💕💕

I will surely miss my sister, We always have a daily chat and lots of visits. Her soft nature is rare and beautiful. Words cannot express the loss I am feeling now. May her soul rest in peace as she is now with the Lord.  Pray for all the family in this time of grief.
