Laurelee, Cindy and Family, our sincere condolences on the loss of your mom! Our thoughts are with you.
Dear Bob, Cindy and Laurelee, I only just came across the sad news of Doris’ passing today. I am so sorry. Doris was indeed one of those truly exceptional people I always admired. Her sincerity and her integrity and all her wonderful qualities always inspired those around her. She was my guiding light when I was at the Best Western Kings Inn. May she rest in the sheer delight and the happiness of the hereafter.
