She was a great friend and we spent many happy times together in Hong Kong and Darien. You and Steve are living tributes to her love and competence, which prevailed through many challenges. Gale and I are glad that you were able to be with her at the end, and we send our deep respect and warm affection at this sad time.Bill Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33298369.post-60325215357874594362015-04-08T11:35:15.205-04:002015-04-08T11:35:15.205-04:00Dear Doug

We grew up in Charles City, Iowa, together and I remember her, your grandmother Phyllis and your Aunt Judy well and fondly. Barbara and I even shared the same boyfriend in our high school years and your grandmother was the society editor of the local daily newspaper and worked with my dad, the publisher. You inherited your journalistic bent from both sides of your family! I remember your dad when he swept your mother off her feet in Iowa City and my father liked and enjoyed Bob so much and followed with pride his career with UPI. Ironically my husband was from Darien and may have been instrumental in your parents meeting Paul and Carole Johnson longtime Darien friends of your parents and even longer time friends of ours.<br /><br />Gods speed to you and your family,<br /><br />Janet Bumbarger Van Doren Carroll<br />Vero Beach, Florida<br />April 8, 2015Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33298369.post-69318365244458462572015-04-01T14:44:56.838-04:002015-04-01T14:44:56.838-04:00Doig, that was a loving and well deserved tribute ...Doig, that was a loving and well deserved tribute to your beautiful Mom.
