I'm sorry for your loss. Doris was a wonderful teacher. I am a entertainer and owe a lot of credit to Doris. I'm sure she's teaching all the new line dances up above.

Dear Dennis, Rosanne and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing away. It is never easy regardless of her age or illness.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Your memories of happy times will always stay with you and your family. At least her grand children and great grand children were able to get to know her and spend time with her.
Love
Roni
