I am so sorry to hear of your mom passing and I pray for your comfort and peace. Your mom was always so helpful when I went to Belks and when I was working there. Your mom truly showed her Christianity by her actions in all she did.
Pat and John McMahon
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Ms. Doris. I remembered her best as working at Belk Tyler when Ms. Shirley Morris worked there too. My mother, Marie Tillett, was friends with Ms. Shirley and her. She was always so kind and helpful. We later got to see her more at Corinth, where we are also members. Please accept our sincere sympathy.
