    Doris and my mom were good friends for many, many years. Doris and Ernie lived just up the road from us. After my parents moved to California, they kept in touch and my mother frequently bought Doris’ lovely craftwork to sell at flea markets and craft sales along with her own pieces. My condolences to the family.
