Words can't express our condolences, care and concerns for you as you grieve and celebrate her life. We have fond memories of our time together in Arizona with you all and her with the youth group.

Tim and Kim I am so very sorry to see this- my heart breaks for you, your son, and all family and friends who knew your radiant - beautiful Doriane. You are both so special to me as we met in Angels Touch - so many years ago. She will always be remembered as she touched so many lives. Sending hugs and prayers my friend Marcia

The first time I met you was at my daughter-in-law Lauren's bridal shower and didn't know who your mom was until after I posted the pictures from the shower on Facebook. You were so sweet and helpful at the shower. I didn't get the chance to bring my granddaughter to see your princess Tiana performance. My granddaughter loves Tiana and always like to wear her dresses. Rest well princess. You and your beautiful smile will be greatly missed. Kim my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May he continue to comfort and strengthen you all and give you peace.

My sweet Princess, I chose the blue candle because that is how I feel right now. I pray that your legacy will continue to reach and touch many. Shaun ( your tinker bell)

My sweet princess, that is what I always called you. And you will always be my sweet princess. You brightened up my day every single day. Your humor, your smile, your energy, so full of life. Thank you for the music, videos, pictures and memories that you left behind. You will never be forgotten. Light up the sky with your bright light full of love my sweet princess.

I pray that you continue to have renewed strength, unspeakable joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding. Be encouraged Godbee Family🙏🏽 Rodrick & Connie Hawkins

Beautiful Doriane, I will forever remember your sweet little face and your sweet little voice reading a poem you had written. After presenting me your poem, you gave me a big hug and an even bigger smile!

I chose the green candle, just as the beautiful green Princess Tiana gown you wore so beautifully. Rest In Paradise Queen Doriane

She helped me believe that I could achieve anything I put my mind to. It's thanks to her that I took more risks in life. When you come across someone who is nothing but kind and gracious, cherish them.

She was a very energetic person, loved line dance and Zumba. Loved to laugh, Dorian you will miss. For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish. Rest in Peace Doriane. Brenda Hughes

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