My condolences to the family (especially Barbara and Jane). I worked with Barbara in Business and Economic Research at UW and student-taught Barb's daughter at Thayer, and I was a classmate of Jane's (I played at her wedding). I enjoyed meeting Doris and am sure she will be missed.

Dear Barb, Jane and Allyson, Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your mother. I worked with your dad in the early 70's but I don't believe I ever met your mother. The three of you, however, are truly a tribute to her. Ryan Fulton
Thank you Ryan! I remember working with you in the guidance counselors office! I will be 67 in a couple of months! Wow!
You can't be that old.....but then again, I will be 79 in May. I remember you being part of the counseling team and I have many fond memories of our time together. Barb kept me updated, so I kept track of you over the years. I hope life is treating you well and if you get Laramie or Arizona it would be great to say Hi! Best Wishes, Ryan
Barb and families you are in my thoughts and prayers.
What wonderful times and memories we have of our families, especially the 4-H memories! May God give you His Peace and Love as you celebrate her life! My love and prayers, Nina Kercher Williams
