Sad to hear of Aunty Doris's passing. She had been a part of my whole life. We visited as children, we visited as adults whether in the city or at Victoria Beach. She always had a warm smile and remembered who I was each and every time even if a few years passed. I was so blessed to know her, my children, and grandchildren. Say hello to Nana for me. - Posted by: Marie Buchok (Winnie Thomas Grandmother) on: Nov 30, 2015
