Doris... Know that I will always remember you with love and gratitude for always watching over my Mom with such love and care. You, Judy and the two Mercy's always made sure she was well taken care of under your watch. You were always doing for other's, you had the biggest heart. I know Mom will welcome you with open arms and I can picture you both making your puzzles in heaven. Thank you for sharing your stories with me... you were one heck of a wonderful lady and the Holiday will never be the same without you. Go with God and your family... you are now happy again. Love, Lucy
