Larry, Tom and Robert and families, I am so sorry for your loss. Where do I start with all the great memories. Piedmont Lake, Church Camps, Church Choir, Christmas Eve, My mom's best friend and unlimited more. She had a laugh I will never forget. You are all so lucky to have had a mom that was as unique as her and always full of fun and I was lucky to have known her. She is now with ML and I know she is happy again. My thoughts are with you all.

It is with a grateful yet heavy heart that I send my condolences to my Brother Tom & Melody Ramsay. Doris Ramsay was truly a “mother” to all of us guys who grew up on Rock Hill, Bellaire. She had a way of welcoming, comforting and feeding anyone who entered her home. She and husband, Merwood Laverne were tremendous counselors to me in the area of faith, girl friends and my future career. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, no one comes to the Father but by me.” All of us who have repented and accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior will see her again. And she will be shining with the brightness of the SON! I pray for comfort and blessing on Tom, Larry and Robert and their families. It was my privilege in life to have known Doris and Laverne Ramsay. Fred & Jill Keefer Bellaire High 1972

Oh, so sorry to read this. She and my mother were childhood friends and I always thought the world of her. Condolences to Larry, Tom and Robert, to Nancy and to my Cochran cousins. Doris was one of the best-hearted people I've ever known and the world is poorer for her loss.
I truly was so pleased with the wonderful service provided. They were all outstanding, very kind.
