Doris Fern Reich

I had the great privilege of meeting Doris last June (2024) when I flew up to Minnesota from Arizona to go see where my family had lived many years ago. Doris Luke is my great-grandaunt. The Lukes (Jr. and Nancy) took me to see her. Even in her age, she had such a vibrant personality. She was strong in her faith and so caring, and all of the stories of her life only deepened my respect for this wonderful woman. - Jo Olson.

Oh yes! My first Christmas with the Reich family in 1987. I brought just one gift for her, but I was absolutely showered with gifts and saw the happiness on her face as I opened all of them. I also had never seen so many ornaments on a tree and each and every one had a story. She was a very generous and caring soul who constantly worried about other´s happiness and she would fall asleep praying for everyone. She helped me in so many ways I can´t even count. Rest well my dear and I know you are with all of the departed souls that you loved and nurtured. We will do our best to carry on without you. Thank you for everything. I love you. Lori
