My heart is sad today at the News of Doris's passing. However, it remains full in the memories of a kind and generous woman. Doris was first a sweet friend to me in my early years and became a loving step mother in the later years. Not many people can say that about stepmothers. She always had something kind to say and was fun to be with. I loved Doris and will hold her memories in my heart forever. She was an amazingly patient and supportive wife to my father. I love her for that too. My love to Louis, Jennifer and Tim through this time of loss.
Lovingly,
Dovey Puckett Roah
