I played Pinochle with Doris for many years, once a week. She was always a challenge to beat. She was very clever and adept at playing. We always had such a good time. We had a lot of laughs and we all enjoyed her company. She will be missed dearly, by all of us who knew her. Sincerest sympathy to her family. Her eyes would light up as she talked about her family. Those are the type of memories we will always remember.
