    Delores and Family,
    I am saddened to hear of your mothers passing . Doris to me. I loved her as my neighbor and special friends. Her and Paul was so special to me . They were both wonderful people. There wasn’t anything Paul wouldn’t do for you. Doris was always so kind. I didn’t visit her much when they moved to Birch Street. I can still see “Pumpkin” up on the deck. She will be missed by so many. I kept telling my husband we really need to go see Doris , especially when this pandemic is behind us. I will always have good memories of both your parents. Thoughts and prayers for your family.
