Scott and Marilyn, so sorry to hear of your loss, and so soon after your fathers passing. I know that she is in a better place, may God give you comfort and peace through your grieving, that you may continue to share the fun and wonderful memories with your children and friends.

We send our sympathy to Scott & Frank and family. Your mom was a great person and she made us feel special when we visited them at the lake. She made us laugh with the stories she told of her younger years coming out to the country and hanging out with my mom. I learned a lot about my mom from Doris! She is now at peace and I'm sure very happy because she is back with Frank. We will miss her dearly.
