To the Family of Doris,
I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you in the difficult days ahead. I worked with Doris at Covesville Packing shed for Roy McClehann. This was in 1974. I was in my senior year at AHS and I was working part time. She was a lovely Lady. I enjoyed her so much.
May God Bless
