A sweet, thoughtful, Loving, and kind woman with a truly grateful spirit and gentle soul... Yes; that was my Aunt Doris and your mom/grandmother. I have so many beautiful memories of our times together, memories I will cherish forever. What a great reunion it must have been to have the sisters together again and in such a beautiful and COVID-free heaven! Until we meet again,... All my love and prayers ate with you.
