Doris Faye Batts

October 28, 1960 - January 16, 2016

Proverbs 31:10-31 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

To my beautiful sister LiL Doris… I knew you my whole life and every time we talk it was like an venture never boring . You always gave me good advice about relationships and life and just being an all-around good big sister. As we got older our conversations on the phone became few and far, years to be exact . But time between calls didn't matter, talking to my big sister was steel exciting, it was like we spoke yesterday. I will never forget what she used to say at the end of each call. She would say ("Tony, don't let nobody f**k with you, you're my little brother and I got your back, ok love you " ) LOL she always had a way with words. ( RIP from your LiL Brother Tony & kids We Love You Big SiS -aka- LiL Doris 4Life)
