Mom I remember you and teaching me to cook, clean, and can. I remember going flower shopping with you, you taught me so much and I have past this on to my children. I know it was not easy to raise us all, but you and dad always made sure Santa Clause came, you or dad would take us kids out for a drive and Santa always made it to our house while we were gone looking at lights. Mike (my husband) thought of your as his mom, he loved you. You cared for all of us, love you and you will be very missed

I always admired the strength that Doris had during her losses of her husband and three children. She cared so much for her family and her kind and gentle spirit was such
an inspiration. Rest in Peace, Doris. Your godson will miss you. Condolences to the Callaway family.

She was so much more than just my aunt. She was my sister, mother and friend. And what a role model! Our good times started when I was six and her flower girl. She and Uncle Bill inspected our first house for us. She read and sunbathed in our backyard in Eagle River. The list of good memories could go on forever. I will miss her more than words can express.

Doris has a special place in my heart, through all of the events with Michael, Doris would stop by now and then just to say hi and give me a hug. She would say” I know your Moms not here so can I give you a hug for her and me” . She was a blessing, and will be missed.🌹😥🙏🏻
