Roger, your Mom was a great lady and good friend. I will always remember the week ends in Mexico when Jack, Doris and I would get away from the daily grind at work and adventure out into different areas and towns. We had a good time together and Doris was always fun to be with. I share your sorrow in her loss and may she rest in peace.
Roger, Jon and I are planning on being at the service on Thursday. My story of Aunt Doris was one Dad told many times as it amused him to no end: Dad was bringing Uncle Jack back home after an outing and the two of them sat for a few minutes in the car talking. Aunt Doris mistook my Dad's high-pitched laugh as one from a female. Very soon Jack's clubs were catapulted into the front yard. Weren't we all lucky to have had so many fun adults in our lives? (Rebecca Henderson Roark)
Roger, I have so many vivid, happy memories of Aunt Doris and Uncle Jack from the late 1950's and the 1960s and that endless stream of picnics we all shared. I remember your house on the St. Joe River in particular, and one rainy Sunday of fishing with our dad for those slimy, mustachioed catfish. Most of these memories are on 8mm film, and you're in them - so I have proof!
Mostly I remember your mom's laugh, and her Connecticut accent.... She was a lifelong friend of mom & dad as you know, and great comfort to us when mom died so long ago, She has been a sparkle to our family us ever since.
She'll be in my thoughts, as will you. - take care. Ellie [Cress] Ferguson
Roger,
We were sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a great neighbor and always had a unique sense of humor just like your dad. We will miss her at the condo complex. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Sue.
