Aunt Doris will truly be missed. She was always so sweet to me and my family. She was Dad's baby sister and I know he loved her too. She was a key factor in organizing the Annual Honer Family Reunions. My sympathy to Caron and David on the loss of your dear mother and to the rest of the family on the loss of your dear mother-in-law, Grandma and Great Grandma. May the memories of her beautiful life comfort all of you.

I will truly miss Doris’s smiling face and sweet nature. She was my neighbor and friend. Always had time to talk and share her thoughts. She was indeed a caring person. May the memories of your mother, grand mother and friend be ever so sweet. God Bless
