“I am so honored that Doris added me to her special groups of "family and special friends". She was a warm, smart, funny, and genuinely kind person, a rarity today. I enjoyed when I had the privilege to spend time in her company. Her joy in her family and her many friends was always on display. To Craig and Sue, thank you for sharing your amazing aunt with all of us. To the other members of her "family and special friends" group, I share your loss. Love you, Doris. Mary Kmitch”
