We were in the second grade and we had cherries jubilee for hot lunch that day. Doris really really liked cherries jubilee. I don’t know how many servings she had but some of the kids didn’t like it and were giving her theirs to eat. We hadn’t been back in the classroom long before she got sick. All over the floor. Cherries jubilee everywhere. It’s been so long since that day but I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.

Doris was a good friend. I’ve thought of her often over the years. Her birthday was 2 days before mine and I planned to wish her happy birthday when I found out she had passed. I’m glad she had a wonderful family and great friends. I will miss her.

My heart goes out to you all, family and friends of Doris, but more importantly I’m praying for God to comfort you. May you be strengthened in your spirit by His, May your memories be sweet and bring a smile to you. 

Doris was my first sister-in-law and remained a friend as we reconnected after years. She could light up a room and did it well. 

Love to you.
