Auntie Doris,
I feel like it has been forever since I have seen you last. Especially being at school so far away from home. I just found out the news tonight of your passing and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was going to go visit you in the hospital a couple of weeks back when I was still home. And after all, I truly regret that. I will never forget the memories I shared with you and Uncle Anthony. From the earliest days with Nonnie and Grandpa to the simplest things like the vegetables you would send us home with. Your memory will stick with me for the rest of my life! Your in heaven now, fly with the angels! RIP I love you and miss you!

My Dear Niece Doris:
I have known you for many years. You have always been very lovable since we first met when you married my nephew,Tony,who introduced me to the internet. Many a good time was held during the summer months when we had the BBQ's in your back yard, with all relatives invited. May GOD rest your soul; as you have been very religious during all these years. Your Aunt Janey was my "maid of Honor " when I married your Aunt Rosetta in 1952. Our sympathies to all family members.
Uncle Frank & Aunt Frances
