Condolences Left For Doris Silvey

I have very fond memories of Aunt Doris. She was my glamorous Aunt who lived in a beautiful home and would take us dancing on the Admiral. She faithfully sent my four siblings and I Christmas money every year. To a little girl that ten dollars every year was a huge amount of money. Aunt Doris was also a precious example to me of how a wife loves her husband unconditionally. I love dancing to this day, and I think my Aunt Doris had something to do with that!
