My very deepest sympathy to Jim, Tammy and family. Doris was a good friend in High School and she was 'over the moon' when she married Jim and entered a life filled with horses, extended family and friends...

I reside in Peoria, IL but grew up in Platteville (PHS 1960) and remember Doris as our marching band majorette and just a nice lady....I was saddened to read of her passing and wanted to convey my deepest sympathy to Jim as he was also in band (clarinet) with us....so many friends and classmates from PHS have passed and it is very sad. Please do accept my thoughts and prayers on her passing. I don't get home too much but still retain family property in Platteville by Middle School.... Carolyn Schuldt PHS 1960 UWP 1964
