“Dear John and family. I want to wish you and the family my deepest condolences with the going home of Doris. I have known her to be a most delightful lady and it was a pleasure to have known her. She has gone home, ahead of us, blessed is the name of the Lord. She is free at last. . . . . . . From Nell van Ravens Pet 501 H.C.H.”
