I am grateful for the dear friendship Doris had with my mother Martha Busch. I've enjoyed the stories that have been shared with me. What a beautiful example of agape love shared between lifelong friends. I celebrate her life with you and pray that God wraps his arms around you in your time of sorrow.

Will always keep loving memories of Aunt Doris, both before she was married and living up on the hill with grandma and grandpa Rip, and for the many years she lived next door after marrying uncle Vic. Soft spoken with the coolest laugh, she always seemed to be happy. Thanks for all your love. Be at peace with out Lord and our loving family. Love and hugs to Barb, Linda, Patti, Carol and Donny.
