Faye, Cindy, and entire family of Doris,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your mom.
I remember your mom. She was friends with my mom, and if I remember correctly, we borrowed your cabin at Lake Erie when we were little.
Fond memories are flooding in. It was SO long ago....but when I think of your mom, I think of my mom. I can clearly `see“ your mom in her younger years in my minds eye, smiling. She smiled a lot. She had a beautiful smile.

I wish you all strength to get thru the days ahead, and may you find solace in knowing that you will see her again.
Sending you all hugs and love...Kathy Klein aka Kit Labossiere ( Delores Kleins daughter)
