The last time I saw your Mom was at OSF St. Anthony and her biggest concerns were ‘Susie and Kenney’. Oh how she loved her kids. ‘Sarge’ was what I called her as she was my PE coach at NBHS. She was always kind hearted with a smile but make no mistake she was in charge! I have many fond memories of Sarge and grateful the Lord crossed our paths years down the road. God bless you all with joy believing Sarge is in charge of something walking the streets of gold healthy and whole with Jesus.
Yours in Christ,
Kit

Our hearts go out to Doris’s children and grandchildren. When he was younger, we remember Doris sitting on the sidelines cheering Matt on in little league. She will be greatly missed
