Doris, or Mrs. Smeckert as I respectfully called her since I first met her 55 years ago when I was 14 years old and became good friends with her daughter Jenell, made such an impression on my life. She was always so kind to me when I stayed over at their house during high-school years. My dear friend, Jenell, you embody many of her qualities and you were so blessed to have her in your adult life these many years. I have faith you will be reunited one day, but for now she is at peace and home at last.
