Aunt Doris was my father's sister. She was a special part of our lives for so many years, yet I feel like I did not have long enough with her. I will never forget the fuss that she made when my first child was born - you would have thought she was the Royal Baby! She had a wonderful life, very well-lived, and I am so sad that my children won't continue to grow up with her around. - Posted by: Karen Kampen (niece) on: Jun 13, 2015

Doris was one of many welcomers in OB United when our family arrived in 1973. She has been a friend since. Now she and Alvin are happy again! - Posted by: Judy Wright (friend) on: Jun 11, 2015
