Sarah,

I can't adequately express my thankfulness for your lovely piece. You captured the soul of a woman you didn't know, but we all know and treasure so very much. I will add you story to my box of keepsakes. Leigh Robison Church ( Doris' youngest girl)

I think it was you I met just before we sat down. I was just wandering and not expecting to stumble upon such a lovely group of people. Your mother’s book was nothing short of inspiring. I’ve started my own letters for my own children. Doris sounds like my kind of lady. 🫶 Thank you for sharing her with all of us!
