We were sorry to hear Aunt Dorris passed away. I always loved it when Aunt Dorris & Uncle Russell came to mom & dad's.... Mom & Aunt Dorris would be cooking in the kitchen, talking & laughing! Kathy would be having a great time with all the kids! Uncle Russ and family, I am sorry for your loss, truly sorry. She was a great Mom. Our mom loved her so much and really admired Aunt Dorris. One time I remember Aunt Dorris made Kool-Aid for the kids and she called it juice! Mom told us that she was going to start calling it juice, because after all, Aunt Dorris called it juice!!! Please take care.
