The hightlights of my week would be to pick up Doris and take her out to shops, frankenmuth, to a beauty salon, get her a perm, pedicure, etc. She was so grateful that I drove and could get her up and around, but like I told her--I got as much out of my time with her as she did w/me, even three weekends ago we went to frankenmuth, Mi and she loved being wheeled around to see all the christmas decorations, she was very easy to please and enjoyed people and companionship so much, even when she got to a point where she needed her wheelchair and said she could not go anymore, I said "No we got the wheelchair" and we went. she was grateful that I didn't let her handicap stop her from going and doing the things she enjoyed...but it was just no burden, she held my hand at frankenmuth and looked at me and told me to always take with me how much she loved me and how good I had been to her, and what our time together had meant....she also had a massage that day, at a spa there and enjoyed the relaxation. I talked to doris about 2-3 times a day on the phone, sometimes a few minutes, many time for hours during the work week, and she really was like a dear friend to me with a lot of wisdom. she was probably like my mom one of the most forgiving persons in the world-she never held a grudge. I know she was a born again christian and is in heaven, but heaven's gain is earth's loss..i know she enjoyed rhonda coming to town and taking her out to eat at her favorite chinese places, to the grocery store, too, bringing her books...we even took her to the drive thru african savannah in port clinton last month, and out to mon ami's for lunch, she loved walleye..she was a joy, and her handicap didn't deter any of us at all...she would say "I really want to go today, but i don't think I can" but all it really was came down to a walking issue, so we got her in a wheelchair and went...she would sit in her wheelchair at elder beermans', tell me her sizes, and i would rummage thru the clothes and bring her things to see and look at and choose from, she said "Now this is shopping!" Like I said, my very dear friend. I will miss her until the day I go to see her in heaven one day, and Mom. Losing her is like losing Mom all over again, they were so alike in their child-like enthusiasm and happy ways...this is a massive loss for our family, and I think most especially for me and Rhonda...I'm also glad kerry and jessica got to know doris and have cried and been upset, because not many great aunt's are even known by their great nieces, but she transcended generations in her specialness to people. Remarkable. Lori

She will be missed - few understand the joys she could bring into ones life. Those who do know, were very fortunate.

My Great Aunt Doris was one of a kind. She was a stong willed, intellegent, beautiful woman. She was a joy to be around and i loved to watch her smile and laugh. I am grateful that i spent the time i did with her. She is going to be missed by many and always a love held dear to our hearts.

Aunt Doris was more than just an aunt, she was a wonderful friend to me and like my second mother. She was the one who helped me prepare for my wedding and place my veil, had me spend many nights at her house and eat many meals with the family while I was growing up, etc... I thank God for all of the time I got to spend with her after she returned to Toledo to live. Our trips to the zoo, shopping, out to eat, etc... made my life that much richer. I will miss my time with her and our laughter together. I have been truely blessed having her in my life.
