Doris and Al were friends of our family as long as I can remember. She was the last of my parents group of friends and thus, the last of their generation for me. We have stayed in touch over the years, one of our common interests being in traveling.
I will never forget her kindness when she helped me with a sewing
project in 1970. I was tasked with making my own bridesmaids´ dress for my brother´s wedding and was in way over my head. She came to the rescue, and I walked down the aisle in a very pretty dress that would never have existed without her help.
I will miss her cheerful disposition and her positive nature. Even on the telephone, I could hear her smile.
