Hello Leo and family,
Just found out about Doris today. She was truly a fantastic lady. We had some good times with you guys, our northern family. I (Brenda) will never forget her telling me that she would be glad to be my mother...wow, wouldn't that have been a grand thing. We know that she will be missed, but someday there will be a glad reunion day. May God bless each and every one of you and know especially Leo you are in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts. We will always love you guys.

Dear Papa, Garrett, Leo, Edward, Amanda and Jenny and all Ma's sweet grandbabies,
May you all find comfort in the memories you share and know that Doris is now free and happy watching over you all. As difficult as it is to let go, it is far more difficult to see the ones we love suffer. Doris suffered far to long and is finally at peace. God Bless you all. Love, Linda Sartori (LaCivita) Remember Ma's laugh and see her smile and that will help you through.
