Rest Easy my friend, Anita Chesney Class of 71- Aggie Pride forever

Doris and I worked several years together. She was a very special person. We had many morning chats before we started work. She was an excellent and sincere employee in accomplishing her duties with the Govt. I really and truly enjoyed knowing Doris.

I have just-this evening-received the news of Doris' passing. She and I would talk and text on a regular basis...about our children, grandchildren, mutual friends, etc. As our fathers had been friends and had kept in touch throughout their lives, Doris and I enjoyed carrying on their tradition. I will truly miss her and extend my heartfelt condolences to her brothers Nathaniel, Charles and their families. And especially to Doris' children and grandchildren, who she adored. Her beautiful spirit and gracious presence will never be forgotten. Rest Well my Friend. Alana Holloway Barter
