Aunt Doris was like a 2nd Mom to me for my whole life. She was my best friend and confidant. She "gave it to you straight" and lived life on her terms. I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to be with her often in the last few years. I love her dearly and will miss her terribly.
Lovingly,
Denise (Lambert) Lavoie
