My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this time as I know how you feel as my brothers and I lost our Mom on August 5, 2008.

To the family,
I used to work with both your father and your mom. I was in the same department as Doris for a long time at IBM and I enjoyed her humor, her honesty, and her joyful laughter. She was a sweetheart. And, of course, the name Okrepkie was not unfamiliar to the Szlucha family. I know that Doris will be missed by all of her family but rest assured, she and Walter are celebrating in eternity. My prayers and sympathies to all of you. God bless you.
