My condolences to the Harter family for their loss. May the promise found at John 11:25 give them some comfort and hope.
Dear Uncle George and Family.
I am so sorry to hear of Doris passing. My thoughts, prayers, and hugs go out to you.
From a small little girl, I can remember how awesome Doris was in the kitchen! She seemed happiest bringing out her cakes, cookies, candy and whatever else she made to share with us all.
Cherish the memories. We will always remember her fun filled Spirit.
