So sorry to read of Doris's passing. It has been many years since I have visited with her, but she and Charles were such a joy in my life when I lived in Damascus. Saw them many places, church and when they lived across the street from me. I know that Charles was probably waiting on her when she entered heaven's gates. Exciting to know that you knew Christ and that we will visit again someday. Kathleen Schumacher
