    Doris was a very pretty lady. Sorry for your loss. I visit her at Cambridge Hills and her Nancy Griffin were always having a good time. In 1956 she work at hosiery mill in Pittsboro she talk me how to loop and she told me I was going to be good one day and she was correct. My memorys of Doris were all great. Now she is heaven.

    My mom was here for Christmas and asked about your mother. When I told her today of your mom’s passing she reminded me of the days they worked together at the hosiery mill. Its ironic that both our parents worked together; our dads at Pittsboro Poultry. I know you will miss your mom, but she is Home now. Will be praying for you.
