Deepest sympathy to my family during this very difficult time.  To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  Aunt Doris is now with her 6 other siblings. I remember Aunt Doris being the life of any gathering and always having a witty personality.  She will be missed but now is whole and healthy. Love to you all, The younger Twin Sharon

I worked with Doris at meadow hills many years ago! She taught me so much. I still think of her and the knowledge she taught us young women about restaurants. So sorry for your loss. Lori Rankin Longenecker
