A short memo to my dear sister, Doris.
Dear Doris, I would like to begin by saying I'm so grateful that all of your struggles have ended. Since I'm unable to be there today, I'm fondly remembering all the good times we enjoyed as kids growing up. We did everything together- almost like twins--inseparable,just 17 months apart. When my name is called to join you at our final home, I'll be searching for you and maybe we can "jitterbug" to Glen Miller's, "In the Mood." Oh how we loved dancing to that tune. Until we meet again--may the angels sing, "Happy Birthday" to you today. Loving you always, Lorraine. P.S. Russell also sends his love. My sincere sympathy Penny, Peggy and family.
