Doris and Lou were very dear friends of my Mom & Dad - Tom & Millie Quinn. They shared many good times together. They purchased the burial plots next to my Mom & Dad, so they could always be neighbors. My thoughts and prayers are with the Fallon family during this difficult time. Doris will be missed.

Fondly,

I was so sorry to hear of Doris' passing. She was a neighbor of mine in Littlestown and lived next door to my daugher Tricia and her family. I will always remember her smile and how much she loved her family. She was one of the first neighbors my husband George and I met when we moved to Meadow View. My sympathy to Lou, Louie and family. Two weeks ago I lost my husband so I know the heartache Lou is feeling and I will pray that he will find peace. My prayers to all the family.

Hey Peg - I am soooo sorry about your mom; things were looking better... I know it is hard right now. I'll be thinking of you and your family as you travel back to PA and home again. Take care of yourselves and each other. Hugs to your dad, Lou, Gary, Ken, Tim, and Liz! You'll get yours in person when next we meet. Hang in there, girlfriend!! Love Always, Marie
