To the Family: I'm so sorry to learn of my dear friend, Doris, passing. We grew up in Coffeyville together and attended the same schools. We became good friends. Doris was always a beautiful person, inside and out. The last time I visited with Doris when I was home in Coffeyville, she was her sweet, lively self. A beautiful smile, sharing about her children, and enjoying collecting the many items she would later sell. Rest in peace, Dear Doris.
Thank you Ms Nadel for the kind words on our Mother. She was something else. She is missed.
