We loved Doris...she was a cousin and best friend to my mom (Judy Gehling Christiansen) They are together again...they left this life only 9 days apart from each other. Our thoughts go out to the family at this difficult time.

I have many fond memories of Doris & Allie during my childhood...being invited to watch weekly episodes of "I Love Lucy" at their hone before we had a TV, and "giving" me one of their four puppies which were all for sale because I fell so in love with my "Skippy". Our deepest sympathy to Lois, Susie & Bill and the entire Tisch family. Doris will be missed but she is now reunited with her beloved Allen, which I am sure is a great comfort to all.
