So sorry for your loss. We remember Doris from Victoris Street, Kincardine. We were back yard neighbours and during that period she gave me many hand written recipies. I will always remember her kindness and generosity.

God be with you all. Though we all know where she is, we all will miss her. In my language they don't say that "someone has departed or left us". They say, "She has gone before". Yes she will some day welcome us to heaven. God bless.
