*obituary
Today we say goodbye to one of God’s Angels that he has called home. Mrs. Doris Jean Hartsfield, also known to many as “Nonna” She was a kind and gentle soul, free spirited, honorable, loving and a friend to so many. She was strong in her faith for God and never hesitated to testify to others about what a wonderful, loving and forgiving God we have. I never knew of a time when she wasn’t wearing a smile, even in times of trouble and sorrow. Her faith was forever strong. Please don’t mourn my passing as I journey on. For one day we shall meet again at God’s glorious and wonderful home. So in this time of sorrow, let one thing please stand clear, the honor that we all shall share in knowing and loving a lady so dear. To my family and friends, I leave with you one of my favorite scriptures.
