January 12, 2016 5:19 pm ·I’m writing specifically on my mother’s (Virginia L. Mundell’s) behalf. As a sister-in-law of Doris and a life-long friend, my mother has always stayed in touch with Doris and remained close through the years, so I know she’d like her friend’s “boys” to know that she sends sympathy and caring thoughts to them and their families. Doris often called, sent cards and cared in so many ways, checking in on Virginia (“Ginny”) and asking about *her* boys (my brother and me) as well. With weather and health concerns, it is unlikely she will attend the visitation and funeral, but she has been notably moved and saddened and will miss her dear friend and “sister.” I also wish to send my condolences, as I remember visiting Max and Doris’s farm as a young boy and recall the warmth and hospitality that they shared with me. It was a special place, so close to the mill and the covered bridge. A little corner of heaven. Take care. Our thoughts are with you.
