We are sorry for your loss. She will be missed.
My sympathy to Doris' family. She was one of my good friends in high school. When she laughed , you wanted to laugh with her. She was always "bubbling" over. I would see her at American Legion dinners. She and Chet were always there. I am sure she has everyone in Heaven laughing….
We will miss you grandma!

Aunt Doris was a wonderful person, who brought a lot of happiness to those around her. I never saw her when she wasn't smiling. My heart goes out to Uncle Chet and family. May God Bless you and watch over you during this time of sorrow.
