Oh, I know how hurt you all are and I just want you to know how sorry I am for the loss of Aunt Doris. She was really special and I have such wonderful memories of spending summer weeks at your house during my childhood. She also called me @ Christmas the first year after my mama died just to check on me. She told me that she just could not get me out of her mind and wanted to talk to me. She was really thoughtful and you all are so vey lucky to have had her for the years that you did. God bless you all! I would have been there, but found out while I was out of town.
