"Doodle", as she was known by much of her close family, will truly be missed. My late father (Bobby Plymale) was especially fond of her and had nothing but nice things to say about her. I remember one year she prepared a low country boil in Fla for a family reunion. I wasn't able to make that one but I sure wished I could have as it looked like a lot of fun and the food looked good of course! I wished I could have gotten the chance to say good-bye, but alas death is unpredictable. All of my condolences and prayers go out to her family. "Doodle" was loved by all and indeed there will be an empty place on earth now.

I am saddened to hear the news of Doodle. Bob talked about her often and always with a smile. Both are now in heaven, it seems so surreal to me. To the family, God bless you and give you strength. I'm am so very sorry.
