Leave a tribute for Doris Ann Cline.
So sorry to hear about Doris. She was a wonderful friend and sweet lady. We had lots of good times together. I will see you again, my friend.
I had the privilege of working with Doris at Drexel Elementary in the late 90s. She was an excellent manager and a good friend to me. I am so sorry for your loss, and will fondly remember her and your Dad. Sincerely, with prayers for all of you.
Butch and I are heart broken to hear of your mom's passing. Her smile and love for everybody was a gift from God. She left such good memories with all the antics she endured from Vance Sr. We miss him so much too. Well now they are together and we will see them again. Love you all so much. We will be praying for comfort during this sad time.

I am so sorry to hear of Doris. She was a very sweet lady and will be missed.
My sympathy to each of you in your loss. I didn’t know Mrs Vance but I do remember her husband, Vance. He helped me with many things at my house and I could trust him. I really appreciated it. He had a chihuahua and I did too and that was a topic of conversation. blessings on all of you.
Sorry to hear about Doris I guess you didnt know Jim passed away last April 15
