My condolences. I saw Doris when I was out there back around 2006.

I met Doris while delivering Meals on Wheels. She was one of the sweetest people I ever had the pleasure of meeting! She often talked of the joy her children and grandchildren gave her; and about growing up and the difficulties and challenges in winters while teaching in a one room school. I miss that sweet lady very much! My deepest sympathy and God's blessings to all the family!

Doris was a wonderful lady! I enjoyed fixing her hair at my beauty shop. She loved her family and was so proud of you all. She always had something to share about her family, I loved to hear about them. My deepest sympathy and prayers to you all in this sad time!
