Enjoyed sharing an office and working with Doris at Stone & Thomas. I still wear the pearl ring she gave to me just because she wanted me to have it. She was always thinking about others. Praying for God’s comfort and peace to be with you during this difficult time.
Paul: My very sincere sympathy to you in the loss of your dear mother. Your mom as well as you and family will be remembered in prayer. With sympathy, I wish you well.
My prayers are with the family
Your Mother gave me my first job at Stone and Thomas which led to a very established career in the retail industry in Human Resources for many years. I have many fond memories of your Mother and know first hand the number of lives that she touched over the years. May you all have peace in your hearts.
Worked with Doris at Stone and Thomas. Always a great person who would help anyone. She will be missed. God bless her and her family.
Sorry for the loss of a great lady, Doris always was making others happy with her funny sayings, she will be missed so much from all of her friends at Pleasant Hill Methodist Church. God Bless all of her family and friends.
She was a wonderful person
Dave Mom and I send our condolences to you and your whole family. Your all in our deepest prayers. Tom Reineke, Broadway st. Whg.
Paul,
Thinking of you and your family during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
