Although I did not know your Mother, personally, her brother Walter Roughsedge was my beloved uncle. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. May she rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing Doris when my mom lived across the hall from her at Summerhill Glen. She was a very sweet lady and took good care of my mom when we were not able to be around. My sympathy to you and your family.
