My deepest sympathy to Doris' family. I enjoyed sharing with Doris when she came to Golden Thimble Needlecraft Guild meetings with her son. She recently shared with us many crochet blankets she had made for family members for Christmas. We will truly miss her. May God comfort her family during this difficult time.
