    I am so sad to hear about Doris being gone. I was talking to Lenny’s brother in law last night about Lenny being in the hospital. We went inside to talk to Esther and she was telling me about Doris. I didn’t know her very well, but what I knew I loved. If you need anything, just yell out the back window as always.
