Mrs. Hill was a big part of my youth. Her Son Bob was one of my best friends. We shared an adventure in New York City that started with going to a Steeler playoff game, riding on the plane with Terry Bradshaw and John Kolb, that we reminisced about years later. Mrs. Hill was like a second Mother to me and others. Always provided a warm inviting home to go to. I will remember her fondly. I´m sorry the weather prevented me from attending the viewing. I know this great lady is resting in the Lord´s paradise.

I'm very sorry to hear of Doris Lou's passing. I had the privilege to share time with her, at numerous Eastern Star events, over the years. She was such a wonderful and warm lady. Farewell my Sister.
