David and Doris were an example of a real couple. After marriage of 56 years they were still very much in love with each other. Their eyes would light up across the room when they saw each other. David wss a great brother-in-law and Doris is a wonderful sister and sister-in-law. Their children were devoted to them. That says a lot for the parents. The world needs more people like David and Doris. Please continue to keep Doris and her family in your prayers.
