Heartstrings, Love & L if e Celebration‼️ for a Special Lady and God wink 😘 thanks for extended sharing her longer on earth. Part of my early Texas family, Godmother, I will miss her calls, check ups and every year birthday cards. 💔💔❤️
Randy, Donna, Cambrey, Kelsey, and Kendall, we’re sorry for your loss and are keeping you all in our prayers. I have wonderful memories of Doris, both old and recent…from going to her and Glen’s house after the Christmas Eve service, eating her wonderful snickerdoodle cookies, and just chatting on the phone about family, past memories, and the Astros. Doris was a special person and a good friend. She will be greatly missed and always remembered.
Paul and I loved getting to know Glen and Doris back in 1984-1985. Glen’s brother Fay is Paul’s grandpa. Glen and Doris showed us around Beaumont and gave us a beautiful place to stay on several weekends during our year in Houston. Doris’ cooking was amazing. Her dirty rice was a favorite. To Randy and family – our sincere condolences. Glen and Doris will always be a precious memory of ours. 💕
Sam and I always enjoyed visiting Doris and Glen. My parents, Jane and Harold Leathers, were friends of them also. they would tell one story after another, smiling and laughing all the while. Wonderful memories of wonderful friends.
Randy and family

Randy, and Donna I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m gonna miss my phone conversations with her. I’m know she’s happy to be with Uncle Glen, my mom, Uncle Ernie, and all of the rest of the family with her. I’m so glad I came to Texas last year and got to visit with her.
Randy and Donna,
My heart goes out to you and your family. Your parents were a wonderful part of my life growing up in Beaumont and great church friends to my parents. Your mom always made me feel welcomed in her kitchen, for youth group outings and when she lived alone. Her life was well lived and well loved. And she was so proud of all of you.
Love, Jan
