Doris E. Box

Well mom, it's been one year today since your physical presence left us. I can speak for everyone in the family I know by saying there is not a day that passes we don't miss you, love you and yearn for you. We know you are watching over us. It's been quite the year, Mason is getting so big, Mason and Riley are so darn cute, and Michele is bringing home another lil boy in June. Our family continues to grow, as we continue to know you are watching. I know that all 5 of your children and all...

It has been 10 months since I went to Kansas Eity to see my very best friend on her way to heaven. If any one has ever earned her way to heaven, it is Doris. Doris was the sister I never had. I still want to go to the phone and tell her what is going crazy in my family. I feel like I lost my right arm. Will this pain ever go away. I have talked about myself instead of Doris, because I am lost without her. Every person in the world should have a friend like Doris. If so, the world would be a...

My entire life has revolved around getting ready for, recuperating from, or longing to make the trips to Kansas City to be with Aunt Doris and the entire family. Every milestone in my life has included a call or a trip to visit and share either the good news or share the sorrow and get support from Aunt Doris. Life will certainly not be the same without her but I am so very blessed to have had her and her love for so many years. She and my mother have truly shown our families the true...

I don't ever remember my life without Doris. She and my grandma were best friends since before I was born. She would come down to my grandmas all the time, I always remember her coming to pick up my grandma in her little car to go to work at the Brookridge Country Club. She will be missed, but she is in a better place, she is in peace.

I knew Doris for only a short time, but every day you spent with her was pure joy. I wish I had had the chance to tell her goodbye, but I know she was surrounded by love. Doris was delighted in life by the simple things... a beautiful flower... a farm scene... or a frisky puppy at play. Often Doris painted these things. I am honored to have known her and will treasure every thing she was. As with all people, I only wish I had had more time...

The foundest memories would be taking long walks with her and my grandma around northeast from 6th Street usually all the way down to gladstone on van brunt and then the long way back...she was always welcome at my grandmas(Dorothy & Joe Cutrera) house whatever time of day it would be, and in that sense to me made her family..never knew her in depth like they did but I was around her ever since i was born and to me that symbolizes family. I know she will be deeply missed but at least she went...

Mom, finally you are at peace and no longer in the agony you have endured these past few years. You will never know the number of hearts you touched and the number of people who love you and will miss you so very much. The grandkids have always thought you immortal, and to all of us you are. You have always been my hero, my best friend and the one I wanted the most to be like. Thank you for being who you were in life and who you are in our hearts. I love you and will miss my "Doris Duty"....

Michelle & Chrissy - I'm sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing. You're in my thoughts. Becky Hall

Grandma Box was a very loved person and will be missed. Though extended family may grow apart through the years, Grandma Box and the family will always be apart of my Family. Love to you all in this time.
