Dear Whithorn Families! My condolences for the passing of your mom and grandma! I remember when Kelli and I had a project to do in the 4th grade, and I met Doris then. She was so wonderful, kind and had a nice smile. I have loved reading her books and learning about the rich history she wrote about, and was a part of. She has a great legacy left for all of us. May the peace of God be with you!

Dear Carol and Alta,
My condolences on the passing of your mom. She was an amazing lady to us all. I remember that she knew me even after I had gone to college and the Peace Corps and met her in Livingston one day.

She also showed us how ordinary people can make extraordinary contributions -- and she and your dad did them. Blessings to her, and to you.
