Richard, Sandy & Carol and families,
Please accept our most sincere sympathy. Doris was a lifelong friend, co-worker and wonderful neighbor to Mom and Dad. She always had a beautiful smile and sincere interest each time we talked. She could be counted on for a fresh cup of coffee and cookies whenever Mom and Dad dropped by for a visit. She spoke of her family often and always with such love and pride.

Be comforted to know she and your Dad will be together again and her love and care will live on in your hearts forever.

With love, prayer and sympathy,
Rev Craig & Carol Kerewich
