“A Loving Heart………..A Beautiful Soul”!

Many years ago, on a beautiful summer day, Doris & I were enjoying a walk on the farm.  During conversation, I told her it would be wonderful if she would take a vacation from the farm.  Her reply:  “No thank you,  I love my farm.  When my family & friends come to visit, that IS a vacation….and the only vacation I will ever need.”  In truth, and spoken from her heart!  I responded with a huge hug and told her she was ONE rare breed, indeed!  I will never forget that moment….that simple moment in time.  The memories she leaves behind are priceless, and I am genuinely grateful my 3 Sons have been blessed with having this kind & gentle Lady as their Baba.  I thank her, for her unconditional love & support she has given them throughout their lives. 

My sincere  & respectful condolences to ALL of Doris’s Family.  She was loved & appreciated by many.
