Beautiful ! Wonderful lady we will miss her.
I’ll always remember the love and kindness my Aunt Doris showed to me and my family. Her commitment to family was top priority. She could be counted on to give advice when needed, as well as a smile and a hug. She was a example to us as a devoted wife, mother and to me the best Aunt, adviser and friend ever. I will always cherish our time together. I’ll miss you Aunt Dar, rest in peace.
Love Evie
