Doris I loved you and will remember all the wonderful times we had working together at the bank. Maida
I remember when grandma n grandpa would always take me thrift shopping. I mean we would spend a couple of hours just going to different thrift stores like grandpa would always find someone and start joking about the salad bar and about his love his womanie bt my dad accidentally called grandma wormie!. Ever since my dad said wormie that was it it stucked on grandma. Grandpa and grandma would show me how to ride the tracker we use to walk the farm to the creek grandpa always trying to scare grandma n I walking back to the house. Then watching old classic black n white movies of John Wayne shirley temple n etc. Grandpa always telling me about him being in the war. Grandma always making the best dishes of food . My God grandma famous pot roast with all the vegetables n her carrot cakes it's so mouth watering I couldn't stop eating it grandma always had to hide the cake from me. . I remember 1 time she caught me red handed in the middle of the night in the refrigerator eating all the sweets n fruits. Oh boy didnt she lay it in on me I mean plus when she told my dad oh boy I gt a spanking n u could feel it from here to Alaska. No joking n after I came running to grandmas arms . She held on to me n she rubbed the top of my head with her gentle hands til I fell asleep in her lap. N then she did the same. At night when she laid me down to sleep we would say our prayers n she would tuck me in n kiss my forehead n say dnt let the bed bugs bite always remember the angels above are always watching over u n keeping u protect Cuz we are all Gods children n we have to do right by him Cuz we won't get in the doors of heaven. Til this day I repeat the say to my children. We used to play horseshoes croquet beanbags yankee jump in the potties sacks scrabble n we use to go to aunt Shirley's n uncle harry n go swimming and get some oranges Cuz aunt shirley n uncle harry had rows of orange trees n I use to run through the trees n snatch a orange n start eating it n by the time I come up to the house she would wet a rag n wash my sticking face n hands. She would always ask where do I disposed all the food I'll be eating Cuz I would eat like a fat kids love cake I mean 3 or more plates I guess I just loved grandmas cooking. N every Sunday gas to get up n for to church n I would fall asleep in church n grandma would tap me to wake up I mean anything that related to any church event for kids she would enrolled me in it. I mean if u stay at grandmas u had to go to church every Wednesdays n Sundays n when the church decides to make a event about each church member bring a dish of food n have a dinner at church grandma n grandpa would walk me through the line with our trays we bought from home they look like school trays bt I would reach for each n every dish Cuz there us 1thing church going people out alot if love n care in there cooking. n u am so happy that I enjoyed so many memories with both my grandparents they were more then that to me j gave alot more to stories about them both this last memory I would forever remember when grandpa would steal a kiss from grandma n make this joker looking face n say that is my womanie. That connection that they shared of there love its priceless my grandparents were the most loving caring enjoyed life so wonderful there was nothing anyone could do to torn them away from each other. That love is unforgettable n I love them both so much n I want to say thank u for everything for allowing me to be part if the family n loving n caring me for like I was ur own child n giving the best memories u would always cherish for the rest of my life. I'm going to miss y'all both so much. Love y'all both forever y'all will forever be in my heart. Ur granddaughter Jessica Gutierrez
It was one of Doris’ many birthdays when we celebrated her special day at my house. We had lunch, cake and her friends shared many great memories together. I remember the moment when she said that she didn’t deserve this kind of attention. Doris was one of the most kind and humble individuals I have ever known.
I lov
