    She will be missed. She always reminded me of when we use to ring your doorbell and run. Especially, when your dad was waiting for us and caught us. Scared the daylights out of us. I have many fond memories. Your family is in my prayers. Sending hugs.

    Aunt Doris, you will forever be loved and missed by everyone who knew you. God was ready to bring you home to him and now you have gained your wings and are amongst the angels. I will never forget the times I stayed at your house and Greg and I would walk to town to shop for records. So many fond memories of spending time with all of you. Rest in Heaven, Aunt Doris!

    Please know how very sorry Ron and I are that we cannot be with you at services today, as we are home ill and had plans to attend. Doris was a very special Lady, a treasured member of our church! We always had the best conversations, and we treasure our memories of spending time with her, and especially this Hines family. We were so looking forward to seeing the Hines families today, but instead please know we send our Love, and pray that her beautiful memory will bring Peace and Comfort to all. Our Love, Susie and Ron Trees, Frankfort

    So sorry for your loss. She was a special lady… always reminding me that Doug could not say Sharon when he was little, so I was always Haron.
