DORIS ELIZABETH CRAWFORD ROBERTSON departed this earthly life on Monday, March 28,

Creek High School.
At an early age Doris was baptized at the Elim Baptist Church. She worked faithfully at Elim as a
choir member, choir director, and pianist of the R. L. Boyd Chorus, the Youth Choir and the Mass
Choir. Doris served as a musician/co-director for the Mens Choir of Greater Mt. Canaan Missionary

Doris will be remembered by her engaging smile, her loving ways, and her love for all humankind.
She loved to play the piano and to sing. She spread so much joy to all who were fortunate enough to
come in contact with her.
HER FAVORITE SCRIPTURE:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.
- Proverbs 3:5-6
Ill live in memories garden dear, with happy days weve known.
In spring Ill wait for roses red, when faded, the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall, Ill catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain, for battle to be fought.
Each thing youve touched along the way will be a hallowed spot.
Ill hear your voice, Ill see your smile, though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain, one thing Ill have you do:
Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon Ill follow you.
I want to know each step you take, so I may take the same.
For someday down that lonely road
youll hear me call your name.

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You DID NOT GO ALONE.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You LEFT US BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You ARE ALWAYS AT OUR SIDE.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
We, the family of the late Doris Elizabeth Robertson, would like to express our appreciation and sincere
gratitude for your support and acts of kindness throughout this time of sorrow. May God Bless and Keep
you is our prayer!
