I remember Doris being so calm/pleasant – and inviting me to join you at mealtime – as I was always hangin’ around. Many pleasant memories of my young years in Carpentersville. Thoughts and prayers

Dear Bobbie Ann, Kathy, Carol and Trudie. It is with sadness that I read online about your mother’s passing. I have such fond memories of your parents and you four girls living next door to us in Carpentersville and all the fun times we shared. Those childhood memories of living in Carpentersville always make me smile as they were truly wonderful times. Mimi (Schultz) Reese, Charlotte, North Carolina
