Dear Peggy,Dorothy & Mickey,

I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I will never forget the
fond memories of being around her as a child growing up on Gay Street. Doris was a kind & caring person. She was a devoted mother and loved her
family and like a mother to us neighborhood kids growing up.
As I became older, we would see each other out & about, and she always kept me up to date about you three kids. We would chat for an hour sometimes. She is in a better place now with no more pain.
Tenderly...May God's love heal your sorrow,
Gently.....May the prayers of friends ease your hurting,
Softly.....May God's peace replace your heartache with warm and loving memories.

With Deepest Sympathy,
Doris Aberts

SORRY TO HEAR OF DORIS'S PASSING. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. I ALWAYS RAN INTO DORIS ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND SHE ALWAYS ASKED ABOUT THE FAMILY. SHE NEVER FORGOT ANY OF THE KIDS NAMES THAT GROW UP DOWN NEAR GRANT/GAY STREETS. DORIS WAS A VERY KIND AND LOVING PERSON.SHE LOVED TO TALK AND REMINISCE ABOUT ALL THE KIDS SHE REMEMBERED THAT LIVED DOWN THAT WAY. SHE WATCHED ALL GO UP AND HAVE CHILDREN OF OUR OWN. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL THAT KNEW HER.

Dear Cousins - So sorry for your loss. Doris will be remembered as a kind person who always kept in touch will family. We are so grateful for her kindness in keeping in touch with Josephine Varnes, my grandmother.
Those memories make me smile. We have lost touch with family over the past few years and wanted to let you know that you are close to our hearts.
May God bring you strength and inner peace. Doris joins others in heaven now, he only takes the best. Blessings and hugs.
