Doris and Uel became our next door neighbors in 1971 and soon became two of our best friends. We adored their two precious daughters, Becky and Brenda. Becky babysat our daughter, and Doris provided daycare for our daughter and later our son. She was a dear, dear friend for many years, and we bolstered one another through many of life’s challenges. We loved her deeply and are certainly grateful for our friendship. We offer our deepest sympathies and love to the entire family,
In recent years, Doris and I became very close, we didn’t see each other very often, but our telephone calls were long and we became close, sharing our thoughts and comforting each other over our grief when we lost our loved ones. I will miss her, in sadness and happy times we shared and became close friends. R.I.P. my friend ! Joyce
