17 Sep 2020Aunt Doris was one of those rare gems that you see only once in a life time. She touched so many people both relatives and friends. I will always have fond memories of visiting her and her family in the summertime when my family would drive up from Florida. She was always so positive and quick witted and spoke from her heart. I am glad that she is no longer in pain and I will miss our telephone talks. My heart goes out to her Family. Godspeed to you Aunt Doris and I hope you are back home again with my Mom who was one of your dearest childhood friends. I will never forget you and will always love you. – Lewis
