Dear Ernie and family.
So sorry to hear of Doris' passing.
She tried to teach me tap dancing when we all lived in Glenmeadow Park in N. Waltham.
I had 2 left feet then and still do. I am the person who left a lasting mark on Ernie Jr.s forehead when we were kids(a long time ago).
I have happy memories of Doris and your family.
My sincere condolences, Pat Corkery

I am so very sad to hear that Doris passed away. I remember working with her at Utica Mutual and various amusing habits she had. We had exchanged holiday greetings up till a few years ago. I missed hearing from her. My sincere condolences to Ernie and the family.
