March 15, 2022 at 6:26 pmThinking of all of you. We have such happy memories or Doreen. Ones that standout in my mind was her love for Trevor and our family and how we had the same fancy tank top and were twins quite often… lol
We love you and are so sorry for your loss. Love you. We will miss her.
