Dorris, Jim,and Tom,
Your mother was a beautiful person with a loving graceful spirit. I met her when Dorris and Danny were married and many times over the decades that followed. We remember her in her 80 's taking lessons to use a computer - what a wonderful memory for all of you. We will miss her kindness and loving heart. We send our love and prayers to all of you!

Dorris, Jim, and Tom,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have the most wonderful memories from childhood of your sweet mother. While the guys would be out hunting, in the hot afternoon, she would have me into that cool house at the farm. And we would talk about horses and Barbie dolls and things that I loved. She was one of the dearest and most loving people I have ever known. And then she would whip up those homemade french fries! The best ever! Love to you all, Hunter
