I just found out about the passing of Aunt Doris. I have very fond memories of spending the holidays with my friend Nancy's aunt, uncle and cousins. They were my family away from home and I will always remember. Sweet dreams Aunt Doris say Hi to Uncle Mac.

Doris was the best to educate new members about the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. She touched many hearts of those that knew her. She will be deeply missed by many. Rest in peace dear friend.

I have thought often of Doris over the years. She was one of my favorites of my mother's friends. I hope the joy she brought to others will somewhat comfort you in this time of loss.
