Stephanie, Cindy, Michael…I fell asleep on the couch last night, got up around 1230AM to let the dog out and get to bed…and an overwhelming urgency came over me to write to Doris to thank her for all she did for me and was for me. I laid there googleing for information for her and came upon this invitation to her memorial. I gotta tell you! This day I have been so heavy with grief. My loving, amazing dad died in December. It is still so fresh for me. It seems like yesterday! Now the loss of one of the pillars in my youth. I am so sorry for your loss…all of you! Thanks to our One and Only God of love for the amazing love your mom lived and my dad too! We are so fortunate to have been their offspring! To have been guided so long by them! We have this in common! A deep seated love from an amazing parent! Our numerous memories and what they imparted to us are our treasures…….On and on….I’m thinking of you all and sending you lots of love! Terri
