    May the family find comfort in knowing that there are persons praying for comfort for each of them. Knowing that Sister Doris Wright is ok now. That She is Resting in the arms of Jesus.

Thank You Jesus for letting Her be in Our life.

    Sending condolences to the family of Mother Doris Wright. She and my mother (Myrtle Farrow) were good friends in a walking group called “The Perky Mall Walkers”. After the passing of my mother in 2018 I lost contact with Mother Doris Wright but I can say that her kindness and love she shared has impacted my life even today. May God continue to comfort and be with you through the days to come.

    I pray God shall strengthen her family during this time of sorrow. My heart is heavy knowing I’ll won’t be seeing her beautiful smile such a warm loving woman of God. To be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. Rest on dear Lady!!
