Doris was a wonderful Grandma to me. Never pushy, but always supportive. Always ready to joke, but balanced with a good nature. She knew much better than I which clothes would be a good fit for me.

I will miss her smile and her smirk, her warmth and her wit, and (especially today) her pumpkin bread. She almost made it to meet her newest great-grandchild!
