To Joyce and all the family members, Doyle will truly be missed. His sense of humor wonderful, and his ability to dance was amazing. I remember many, many years ago we were all at an event and Doyle and I had the dance floor. We "cut the rug" and the saying goes. Joyce, Judy and several others were there to enjoy that wholesome time. R.I.P. RESURRECTION IN PARADISE. Jesus will call and that in Jehovah God's memory will awaken!!!! Just Around the Corner.

Veretta Stroud Lasley

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
