Aunt Doris loved her African violets. But I was highly allergic to them. She always put them away in a far room whenever I came to visit. She didn’t want to expose me to them. She loved her family above all ever. Such a sweet lady. You’ll be missed! ❤️
Doris was part of our extended family. We enjoyed visiting her beautiful place in Colorado all those years ago and then sharing many Thanksgivings and Christmases in more recent years in Texas. She had stopped cooking over the past few years but my fondest memories of Doris will always include vast amounts of wonderfully prepared dishes and stockpiles of food just waiting for anyone who could eat another bite. She kept flats of soft drinks piled higher than me in the pantry and bread in the dishwasher. No one ever went hungry on her watch. She spoiled her family every meal along with her family's family, for which she will always be remembered.
