Condolences. Sharing your sadness with sympathy.
We got the message from Ruth Knudson concerning Doris.
Many years ago I counted 20 cousins in USA and only three in Sweden, all on my father's side. I believe that Doris was my last cousin alive in USA as well as Sweden. Still she had a long life and reached a high age, but I understand she had a hard time towards the end.

Love and blessings,

I set it to music from Wurlitzer Organs as I have fond memories of attending performances at the Fargo Theater with mom on the "Mighty Wurlitzer" there. She and I shared a special bond each of us being the "youngest" of our generation. Blessings to you all!

To all of Doris's family: Her picture reminds me of all of the Nilson sisters. I know how much you will all miss her, but, she will be joining all of her family now. May God give you comfort at this time. Much love,

Dear children and family of Doris. I was so saddened to hear of her passing as she is the last of a family who passed on such wonderful values to their families.

My mother always called me Doris, guess she was used to looking after Doris in her youth and kept making that mistake. I remember so well when they visited in NR probably because she and Paul each night would take Debbie for a ride to go to...
