Allen,
I am sorry to read of the passing of your mother. It is always hard to lose “mom”. What a great life she lived; and a long one. I send my deepest sympathy. Nancy
I enjoyed working with Doris In the Boeing Medical Department!
My condolences to the family. She was a lovely lady!
To Doris’ family. My sincere condolances. Doris and Al came and visited every week during Kermit’s last year of life and I have never forgotten that.
Sorry to hear about your mother Alan. We will always think of her at the donut shop with a good tale to tell. She always said there wasn’t a crossword puzzle she could not complete. We send our sympathy.
Mavis and Bill
Allen, sorry to hear about your Mom. I remember you, your Mom & Dad visiting my parents, Ray and Hilda, when we lived in Ballard. Alice lived with my folks before I moved from Montana when I was in the 5th grade. I always looked up to Alice as the “fun” working girl with all those beautiful shoes. I’m still frequently in contact with June in Billings and she speaks fondly of you. Give Glenn my condolences and the Best to you.
Allen my thoughts and prayers are with you. Doris and Al were neighbors and great friends of my parents, Carl and Lucille Adams. Dad worked with Glen at one time and I remember him fondly. Please give him my condolances. Doris was a nurse at Boeing where she met my father-in-law,
Pat Cameron. Again, you and your family have my deepest sympathy. Flora
