Dear Milligan Family; Sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Even more disappointed that we cannot be with you at this time to personally express our feelings for Doris as well as each of you. My former students always feel like part of my family and when they hurt--I hurt too. Doris and H. R. gave you a legacy to follow and now at this time I am sure that memories come flooding back. God will give you comfort and ease the burden of your loss. We share your loss and wish you continued blessings. Perhaps we shall see you again sometime soon. Skip and chrys.

Dear Helen, John, Mark,et al, Our heart felt sympathy goes out to you and your family. Your Mom was a strong lady who really put up a good fight. I've made plans with my mom for Tuesday but will get to the funeral on Wednesday if current plans don't change. Do you had any preferences for flowers or charitible contributions?

Dear Helen, Paul & John...
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother.
It was always a delight to talk with her, as she loved to keep in touch with those of us from the Hillsboro area.
I know you will miss her deeply, as we all will, but Heaven is a much better place to be when all is said and done.
Our prayers are with you...
