February 02, 2010 I was fortunate to work with Doris at Teledyne for many years. What a nice person she was. I'm sure she will be sorely missed by many. February 02, 2010 Mrs. Grant lived at Mallory Apartments for almost forty years. We were very lucky to have her here as a resident. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all of us. Mallory Apartments' Staff February 02, 2010 I grew up across the street from Doris, her father "Grandaddy Scarlett" and her daughter Debbie. Doris was such nice person, she was a joy to be around. We often played rummy together, worked on puzzles or just visited. I will always have fond memories of her. I am sure she is now rejoicing in the company of Larry, Debbie and her father.

Tommy and Faye....I am so
sorry to hear about your mom. I remember her so well from over 30 years
ago. My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time. I know it
has been many years since we have talked, but I lost my dad a couple of
years ago and my heart goes out to you. Feel free to contact me; I would
love to talk to you.

I personally did not know
Doris, but felt like I did through my mother, Betty Savage Palmer. They
were best friends in high school, along with Jean Luter, and the three
of them still kept in touch until my mom died last August. Our family
sends our prayers and sympathy to Doris' family and know that there has
been a big reunion in Heaven of these two friends.

Dear ones,
Human ties of love go so deep it makes it very hard to give up those we've loved and enjoyed so much! How wonderful though that we have happy memories to savor and the promise that once again we'll see our dear ones who've gone before. How great the love of God to provide for our every need! His love is so evident in times of sadness if we but make ourselves available to it. May you be able to do this and experience that inner joy and peace that can only come from Him. Our love to you, Betty, Margaret and Roy ~ Betty and Roy Markham, Newport News, Virginia February 03, 2010
I was so blessed to have
had such a wonderful lady to call my Mother-in-Law. You were so much
like a mother to me.
I love you dearly and will miss you so much. I will miss our Friday night Dinners together, and Saturdays getting your hair done. You are finally at peace and will suffer no more. You are now with Larry and Debbie. We will miss you and will always love you. I Love you Faye February 04, 2010
Granny, I know you are
now at peace and with Pop, I'm sure he greeted you with open arms.
My final memory of you will not be a sad one, but peaceful. It will
not bring tears, but a smile as I remember the snow cream CJ and I
had next to you, just like when I was little. Somehow I think you
knew and held on just a bit longer for that. We will miss you, and
love you forever...

Dear Aunt Doris,
I really don't know where to start. First of all, I will miss you very much. You have been in my life for 56 years so therefore I had an exceptional life because you were in it. The last 13 years we talked about everything from A to Z. I enjoyed those years with you the best. Thank you for being my aunt, my mom when my mom passed away, my sounding board, but most of all my friend. With much Love and Heavy Heart I write these words. I know that you are happy, painless and enjoying your new home in Heaven. With Love Your Niece Linda February 06, 2010
Doris was not
only my sister-in-law but a friend. We had a wonderful
relationship for over 50 years. She was my husband's sister,
but also like a mother to him since his mother died so
young. We spend many hours walking down memory line which
was a favorite thing for Billy, Doris and me. It gave us a
lot of pleasure to revisit the past because most of the
memories were so wonderful. We have been blessed with a very
loving family. I will miss Doris so much, especially the
Chinese dinners she loved. Thanks to all her friends and
family that made her life so good. We can only be comforted
by the fact she is in a much better place. Love, Beulah Ann
Scarlett

Our deepest condolences are extended to Doris's entire family and their friends at this difficult time.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee,
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and pow'r.
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked come, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die!
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
