My sincere sympathy to Doris Doss's family. She will be sadly missed by so many of us, especially by her sisters in the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. No matter how bad Doris felt, she always took time to stop and ask how you were when she saw you. May God comfort each of you during this sad time.

My sincere condolences to Mrs. Doss's family. She and I used to sit in the same bleacher section at Central H. S. football games and I was close friends with her late son, Larry Mawyer, back in the mid 1960's when we had afternoon paper routes for the RICHMOND NEWS LEADER. I know she will be dearly missed.
