  13. No, I will be there with you all in my thoughts, prayers and spirit. I loved your mom dearly. She was a good aunt to Tim and me. I am glad we came out in 2014, and am glad for all the times she and Bud came to see us when in st Louis. We shared good conversations through the years and she will be missed by both of us. I will always remember her gentle nature, smile, humor, her love for “Rose of Sharon” Bush/tree
    She loved her children, grandchildren and husband deeply. What a blessing she has been. Aunt Doris will be missed but her spirit lives on in all of the lives she has touched in her lifetime.

  14. Dear Diane. I got to know your mom at the Saturday 4 pm Mass, and later at the Catholicism course in 2013. Such a nice person to talk with. Please accept my sympathy for you, your dad, and the entire family at your mom’s passing, and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time. God bless you all. Love, Dee
