Phil....
I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Doris's name in the obituaries. I am so, so sorry. You both have always been such a support for me, and I will always be grateful to you both for that and for your friendship.
love, Kit

Uncle Pete, Aunt Joan, Uncle Phil, Mark, and Beth,
My condolences to all of you on the passing of Auntie Doris. As you all know, she was my godmother, and although i didn't see her as much as i would have liked, i always knew that she loved me, and Kimberly, as well. And, we loved her. i just wish that Sammie and Grace had gotten to know here the way that Kimberly and myself did. Although she wasn't my grandmother, so to speak, i always thought that Auntie Doris "got" my sense of humor, and that she understood me in ways that my own "Honey" didn't. That's not to say that either Auntie Doris, or "Honey" loved me anymore, or less, it's just that no matter how long it was between visits w/ Auntie Doris we could always talk about anything. And, w/ her quirky sense of humor she could relate to me in a way that was different in the way that my own "Honey" would relate to me. Neither one was better than the other, it's just to say that the were two different experiences from my perspective. And, did this lady have stories. She'd always tell us the stories, but then w/ the caveat that we couldn't tell this person, or that person, cause it just wasn't "proper". She was one of a kind, and i will truly miss her. I hope that Mark and Beth got a sampling of her sense of humor and zest for life during the course of their time w/ Auntie Doris as well. She loved the both of you, more than you'll ever know, and she was so proud of the both of you, and what fine adults you both have become. i will always remember her sitting around our house in Westford, at Christmas time, and wondering if she'd ever have grandchildren, and if Uncle Pete would ever get married. Well, Uncle Pete did get married, and she's a winnah. I did keep one promise to Auntie Doris. Everytime i'd see her she'd always ask me, "So, Scott, when are you getting married??? (Misery loves company, don'tcha know) And, i'd always tell her "Not in your lifetime, Auntie Doris, not in your lifetime." she'd always get a big chuckle outta my response. in closing, as i was growing up i didn't realize how lucky i was to have Auntie Doris, Uncle Pete, and Aunt Joan in my life. It's only now, as i myself grow older, do i realize how truly blessed i was, and am. i know i don't say it nearly enough, but, I love you, Uncle Pete & Aunt Joan. And i'll miss Auntie Doris. But, her love of life, love of her family, and her indomitable spirit will live on forever in my memory........
