Vicki,
So sorry to hear about this. Sounds like she is definitely in a better place now. Had no clue what you
have been going through. Tough tough situation. Prayers for you and the grand-children . . . . feel
the hugs. Wish I could tell you the next few months would be easy, but I cant do that! You will miss her,
cry for her . . . . feel her! Hold all these memories tight. Only one thing worse than losing your parent, and she had to go through that! Think of you often!

My staff and I at the North Liberty Library were sorry to see that Doris had passed. We were talking about her not too long ago and wondering how she was. We all remember her fondly. She always brightened our day when she came in and checked out her stack of books. She was one of our best patrons. We miss her.
