It is wonderful to be able to see Aunt Doris' obituary on line, since we were unable to come to the funeral. I love the picture you chose - she was always such a beautiful person inside and out. A few paragraphs don't begin to tell the story of your wonderful Mom who was always smiling and seemed thrilled to see you each time you met. We all relished the times Uncle Roger and Aunt Doris came to Cincinnati. They seemed bigger than life and oh so glamorous! But they were also people of faith and they loved each other so very much, that was plain to see. Now they can enjoy eternity together and we look forward to seeing them again. Judy, Sandy, Steve and Peter, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Carol
