Although I haven't had recent contact with Doreen, I have considered her as a special friend since I worked with her and Morris  in the BJU Dining Common in the 1950s. We remembered good things about that friendship. Doreen showed her faith in the Lord by her life testimony and service for Him.

Mrs Hallford (Doreen) will forever be our memory.  I was a teenager and she taught me much more than English and Typing. She led by example, serving the Lord. I remember her wedding to her best friend Morris.  I thought it was so cool when she would have choir practice while Holley was running everywhere.  She was such a great teacher and Lyndon and I had the greatest respect for this wonderful friend.  I still have a heartwarming letter she sent me when Lyndon and I were at the school 60 plus years ago. 
She and Morris could have made so much more money going somewhere else but their love for the Lord and positive influences they made in the lives of children will never be forgotten.  She definitely made a difference in ours. We know we are better people for having her  in our lives. We always think we should have said more or done things differently but we cannot change the past. We cannot be there tomorrow but she will have a place in our hearts forever.  
To God be the glory great things he has done! It is well with God's soul. Peace to her family as you go through this difficult time.

Precious friend, I am missing you already. On Monday I promised you I would come back in a couple of weeks and pick you up for supper and to ride around and see the Christmas lights. You won’t be missing those lights at all, now that you are in the glorious light of the Son of God. I will still be missing you.

Mrs. Hallford always amazed me with her boundless energy and constant joy. She was tough, requiring work and obedience in the classroom, but always one of my favorite teachers. We didn't realize at the time how many hours she poured into her service for us, but looking back, I realize she gave her whole self for Jesus and all her kids at Miracle Hill. She will be greatly missed here, but what happy rejoicing there is in Heaven! I love you, Mrs. Hallford! "Joanie" Agee Acree
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
