Gail has been my best friend for over 40 years. Doris was a complete part of Gail's family life. She devoted everyday to helping her daughter with everything. Her grandsons were a constant joy to her. Doris made the best stuffing for turkey, and a memorable macaroni salad. I will miss her presence in Gail's kitchen, and the many cups of tea we shared. How happy she must be to finally she her beloved Jimmy, her mother, Uncle George, and her doggy Sebastian. Rest in Peace Doris, and God bless Gail through this time. Love always, LuAnn "Lu" and the Miroddi family
