Not sure what to say?

Doris was one of the most open minded,straight forward,humorous relatives I know. I could always sit down and talk to her about things I would not talk to others about. She was not judgamental. I will truly miss her. I was closer to her than any other blood relative I know. God bless Doris. Check and see if you can find Arvid Victor up in heaven. Small joke Doris and Marian.
Love,
Keith Anderson

My Dear Aunt Doris... My "Other Mother" She always had the best advice, and the kind of wisdom that was matter of fact, straight to the heart of what was most important. She will be dearly missed by all of us and will surely live on in our hearts, until we meet again. Love to your Family Aunt Doris, Always~ LeAnn

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the families and friends of Doris. She will truly be missed by all. Doris was the best next door friend and neighbor a person could have for all most 20 years. We have shared many stories over the years. I will miss you. I will not forget you.

Doris was always so much fun to talk to, and I especially loved the quilts that she made for everyone. I am so impressed at her carrying on through everything these past few years, with her grace and good humor. She will be missed.

My Grandmother Lilly Anderson is "Auntie Dodo's" sister. I will never forget her great sense of humor and her straight to the point answers that were not sugar coated on bit. I loved her honesty and how she was caring and accepting to whomever it was and whatever their circumstance was. She will never be forgotten and will be greatly missed. I am very blessed to be able to have such a wonderful woman to remember as a part of my family.

Erick and I express our sympathy to the family of Doris. I enjoyed my visits with her over the past twenty-five years. She will be deeply missed by her two sisters, Lillian and JoyAnn, and her entire family.

Doris was a wonderful Great Aunt. Whenever we went to her house, she always had some sort of treat for us and liked it when we played cribbage with her.One thing I will always remember about her is that no matter how she was feeling she always seemed to crack a joke. We will all miss you Doris. Rest in peace.

Marian,
I was so sorry to read of your mom's death (and I did not know that your brother had died too). I have so many fond memories of playing at your house on Bloomington way back in the 1950's. You, Leslie and I were quite a trio. Then there were our days at Augsburg !!!
I remember your mom and her sense of humor and being the kind of mom that we all needed as we were growing up. May you feel God's arms around you in the coming days as you share those cherished memories of your...

I grew up just doors down from the Enlunds. What a wonderful family! I admire that after Jim passed away she was there working like crazy and having some coffee clutches with my mom and Helen Johnson. GREAT memories
