Tom and Tim. I was very sorry to hear the news about your moms' passing. I knew her since my early days in grade school all the way through high school and she always treated me with kindness and respect. I know that in time you will both be able to look past the loss and remember her for all the good and positive influence she's had on your lives.

Tim and Tom I'm so sorry to see that your mom has passed away. Nothing is harder than losing your parents. I remember your mom back when we were in youth group together at Immanuel Lutheran Church. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you the peace, strength and comfort you may need during this difficult time of loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Doris for several years at the Sno-Isle Libraries. She made many friends at Sno-Isle and took great pride in seeing the library system grow and thrive during her time there. Doris had many varied interests, a kind heart, and an open and engaging personality. My sincere condolences to her family.
