Not sure what to say?

As a co-worker of Laurel Whisler's, I never personally knew her mom, Doris, but reading this obituary and the sweet descriptions and comments about her listed in this guest book I feel like she was an amazing woman who is admired and who was warm and welcoming to all she interacted with. In reading some of these comments it is no surprise that Laurel has some of her mom's great qualities. I pray for comfort for Laurel and the rest of the family and friends during this difficult time.
