I have fond memories playing Mille Borne with Doris, Harold and Pat. She took me to "find Harold" a couple times. She loved having lunch at the Chowderpot before COVID. One funny time was when she escorted a young man out of the house armed with a can of Mr muscle. She was a great person and I´ll miss her dearly...
