My mother, Barb Hutson, worked in the school system with Doris & years later they both volunteered at the hospital and played Hands and Feet with other friends who all are now gone.
It's hard to lose someone so dear but carry her in your heart & relish your memories of her because the life she lived will always be remembered, the way she touched hearts cannot be erased, the smiles and the laughter she created will live on forever. Even in this time of grief may her memory carry you on to brighter days.
I went to Esther school with all her children. She was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. So sorry for your loss.
