My condolence to the Woldow family. Cousin Doris, exceptional in her own right (from an exceptional family) was a most favorite cousin. I remember her long hair (as a child) and her conversational abilities. She was 8 years older, at the time.
Doris will never be forgotten.
Sincerely,
Don Dubrow (Grandson of Esther Oliensis Wanger who was Uncle Abe's sister)

My sincere condolences to the entire Oliensis and Woldow families. I have only fond and loving memories of Aunt Doris and her whole family. I loved seeing her. She always had a smile. She was wise and had her feet on the ground. She was a very positive contribution to my life and I am so glad to have known her. I am glad she lived a good and long life.
