Heaven got a new angel. Doris was a unique understanding presence in my life. I was and still am a friend to her son Larry. My father died when I was in High School and Doris always knew the right thing to say to me. She was caring and loving to all of Larry’s friends. Dear lord please look over Doris and all of her loving family. I was so lucky to experience the love and caring of this great woman.
