Beloved Mother
Doretha had two children: Dorvera Adele Owens and Jamal Quentin DeVance. Her number of children grew when she later received two more: Daniel C. Owens and Je're DeVance.
She was a supportive and encouraging mother to us. Always helped us to accomplish things even when we did not believe we could do it. Whenever we needed help...she was there...and never said "No" unless she absolutely just could not do it. She was more generous than possible, willing to go without just so you could have. Her heart was gold even when her pockets were empty. She made a way out of no way...trusting God every step.
My Mom was a dear friend to me. We spoke almost everyday, and if I went two days without calling, she would call and say: "What happened...why didn't you call me?" I cannot imagine life without her. I am happy God allowed me to have the time we had...but selfishly...I want more.
