She.was a dear woman and I’m so thankful that God allowed me to be one of her nieces.
Below is a little Valentine my Grandpa made for her with his drawings all over it. Love is a simple thing that endures with persistence. I am glad to know that they are at peace together now, forever holding hands. oxoxoxo W
Doris embodied all that is good in people - her happy nature, broad tolerance, love for family and friends, and joy for life. I'm glad I was able to know her a little bit. How lucky you were to have had her in your lives.
Love to you all, Catherine
