    Oh the memories and the tales that were told around Audrey and Clydes kitchen table. I can hear Doris laughing like it was yesterday. I'll be thinking and praying for you all.

    I send my condolences to all of Aunt Doris's loved ones. She was such a kindhearted woman with a beautiful spirit. I will remember her always and cherish even more now the memories I have of her and the time we spent together decades ago. I hope her passing was peaceful and with the presence of those closest to her. May you all find comfort in each other during this time of mourning.~Teresa Hanks

    I loved Aunt Doris very much. At many times in my life she was like a second mother to me. I will miss her, and her wacky sense of humor. ~ Ginger
