Forget Me Nots in memory of Doris Joyce Stephen
I am saddened to see this andI will never forget her. Aunt Doris was one of the kindest womenI have ever met in my life and boy did she like to talk. You could always tell that she took the time to really talk to me, always engaged.Her husband was my Grandmother Forester’s Brother. My dear lady, you have earned your wings, time to fly high. Love you, blessings to your children. — Melody Forester
