Doris loved board games, playing bingo and sharing good times with family and friends. You could always count on Doris watching her favorite shows and playing along to Jeopardy – where she seemed to know all the answers – all of the time. Doris also enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and beating her laptop at solitaire.

Mom I love you and I really miss you. I'll miss our daily chats, as I looked forward to them. I'll miss your laugh. I'll miss talking politics with you. Mostly I'll miss having you here with us. I know your struggle is now over, and you can now breath peacefully and freely in Heaven with Dad. I'll think about you every day and We will all see you one day again. Bye Mom and thank you for all you did for me in my life and for loving us unconditionally.
