I met Doris 45 years ago then eventually became a member of the family. She and her sister's treated me as a true sister. We even all lived together! Doris had a great sense of humor, a great work ethic and a natural way around people that I always admired. I wish to extend my sincere condolences to Doris's family at this time of grief. Doris, May you Rest in Peace!

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I know your hearts are breaking. May you find comfort in knowing that she is in the presence of the Lord, free of pain and suffering, reunited with your dad, grandparents, Betty, Bob , Bobby and all their loved ones having a grand reunion.
I am truly sorry I was not there for you. I had no idea. It was quite a shock to me. I will be praying for each of you. May her wonderful memories help sustain you and carry you through. She loved each of you so much!!
