We are sorry to hear of Doris’ passing. She has been through a lot. I find comfort knowing she is now with her husband and daughter.
This verse helps me in times like this:
The Lord is close to the broken hearted but saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18
Rest in peace Aunt Doris

Dear Ann & Roland,
Your mom was like a second mom to me. She had such a gentle nature. She was very much like Memere Lavigne. I will always remember the wonderful summers we had at Quaddick lake. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love

I was devastated to hear of the news of my aunt. It seemed so unexpected. I will always cherish the memories I have of her when we did get together. I know this is very painful for her children and grandchildren, my cousins. They have my deepest sympathy, and know that I am thinking of them and praying for them. Love, Joanne

I only knew Doris though Day-Kimball Cardiac Rehab, but in the time I knew her she showed herself to be a great lady, who bore many difficult times with grace and dignity, with good spirits, and without bitterness.

Hi Aunt Doris.. Just wanted to thank you for putting the family history book together as i know how much work that was for you. I take it out from time to time and even listen to memere talking on her CDs. You were very smart and thoughtful to do all that.
I know how hard it was on you losing so many members so quickly. I know you are there with them now. Say hi to them for me as i love them all. Many memories has filled my heart growing up. I love you Aunt Doris.. Anita
