Dear Family of Doris,
Losing one's mom is one of the greatest crosses in life. So sorry.
I played bridge with Doris at Coventry. She was sharp and a very special lady...such a delight.
May God give your courage for the days ahead. Thankful for the joys you had with your mom.
Forever in my heart,
Much love and prayers,
Dorothy Schmidt
