To all of Doris's children and grandchildren. Doris was one of my dearest friends. I had so much fun being around her. Of course this is when all of you children were younger. But your mom made sure to take you to all the places you needed to be. She had so much energy and enthusiam about life. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
