Annette, Denise and Anthony, my deepest sympathy. I love and miss Aunt Doris very much. When I think of her I see her wonderful smile and hear her beautiful laugh. She will always make me smile and feel good inside. Some of my favorite childhood memories are the times I spent in Alvarado at your house. I hope you are doing well. Mom said the services were beautiful, I'm sorry I could not be there. Love and miss you. Harry Galo Harbin

I can't think of Auntie Doris without seeing her with a smile on her face. Her snickerdoodle recipe (given to me at my wedding shower) is one of my kids' favorites. Continue to think of great memories of her to help you get through this.

Aunt Doris was a very special woman to me. I spent most of my very young childhood days with you. I loved every minute you shared your life with me. You were my family's nurse, you helped with all our needs, around the house, our finances, school projects and our many many bumps and bruises. I followed you everywhere, asked tons of questions, watched you cook, went on errands with you, I adored you and everything about you.You loved me,my children and my family.You were the greatest Aunt. I love you Auntie CooCoo. Thanks for sharing your unconditional love.
