Dear Dolores, Ken and families,
Sorry for the loss of your dear Mother and Grandmother. Ernie has many fond memories of his Aunt Doris and Uncle Elwood. Whenever we speak of her, that little light will be kept shining by those of us who ever knew her.

Dolores and Ken,

My condolences to you both. You had a wonderful mother that always thought of others. One could call her instead of Septa for the bus schedule. She was always with a smile and always had a craft in progress. I just saw the obit today in the paper and I leave permanently for Florida this week. Sorry I cannot make the viewing. My prayers are with you both.

Aunt Doris was more than an aunt to my husband and I - she truly was like a second mother to both of us, a grandmother to our children and great-grandmother to our 7 grandchildren. We will miss being able to pick up the phone and visit with her. We look forward to seeing her again one day!

My Mother, Ruth Denham, and Aunt Doris were best friends for years and did many things together like wallpaper her house. Aunt Doris made my Junior Prom gown and it was beautiful. She also crocheted baby blankets for my son and daughter. I have many fond memories of her and will miss her very much.

Our condolences to the Blythe Family.
Sorry for your loss.

I am sad to see Aunt Dorris pass away. I remember many times visiting with her with my grandparents. She was a very nice lady and will be missed.
