Tragedy of the Doran Family

Tuesday, July 22nd, Bette (aka "Granny") Doran passed away.

It was a shock to everyone, because she was happy and seemingly healthy Sunday at Morrigan's birthday party. She was 81 years old and died of a brain aneurysm.

The services were today. Ben and I went. It was... rough. It's still rough. Despite only knowing her about two years, Bette was much like a grandmother to me... she accepted me from the first day, even before Ben and I were married, and I really treasured our relationship. She thought the world of Mori and was overjoyed to hear about baby #2. She was a sweet, wonderful woman who was full of love and compassion, and she will be missed.

She is survived by her husband, Al; children, Gayle, Rusty, and Mike; grandchildren Ben and Dan; and great-grandchild Morrigan.

Please spare a brief moment of silence for this remarkable woman. May her soul rest easy in Heaven.

Thank you.

-Ket
