My mind has been on all of you these days and I hope you are doing well under the circumstances. There is sadness and there is joy and they will probably intertwine off and on. You will all miss her so much, but she is happy and without pain now and looking down and watching over you. All the great memories can now be brought back and shared. She was a great lady and very sweet. Jasmine was very shocked, but then said, now Jesus has another friend up there. My prayers are with all of you. Take care. Doris and family
