Please accept my sincere sympathy on Doris' passing and simultaneously my deep gratitude for including my late father, Dr. C.M. Schuldt, who passed 70 years ago this past weekend....I am so thankful you listed him with Cunningham Hospital where he did indeed work and made house calls. Dick was my 1960 PHS classmate and such a good person to all of us...these people who have passed hold a special place in our hearts always.\ Thinking of the family at this time. Respectfully, Carolyn Schuldt PHS 1960 UWP 1964

Aunt Doris was such an elegant, beautiful woman. Family gatherings were always full of love and laughter. So many wonderful memories for everyone who knew her. Doris was welcomed home, surrounded by her loving family in heaven. Rest in peace Aunt Doris. We will always love you.
