Our sympathy to the Plotner Family in the loss of their Mother.
Doris was a wonderful person and friend. She was always so up beat. I really enjoyed visiting with her at church and at the library. She was a true angel.
I will always remember Doris and her family with many good thoughts. They were neighbors in the Valley for many years. Then we were neighbors in Bradford! Lots of fun at Tops mtgs, etc. Doris will be in my thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.
