I was so sorry to see that Doris had passed away. We were friends a long time ago when my son, David, now deceased and Tim went to the Treehouse together. Doris was always such good, fun company. May she rest in peace.

Eileen and Tim, so sorry to hear about your mom. After your Dad got sick, I sent cards but never heard back from her. I remember such great times with both of your parents. Take Care.
