I'm so grateful to have had Doris Ann as a life-long friend. She has been with me through our years of pinochle-playing and more recent, traveling together to Branson, MO and to Michigan. Thank You to family members who have made it possible to stay in touch with Doris Ann these last 10 years. She will always hold the title of my "best friend", and I feel certain we will see each other in Heaven one day. Condolences to you all as you say goodbye to her. I cannot be there with you, but I am certainly wearing purple today. With love, Barbara Scarborough
