Doris and I became friends first until she told me you know Pauline your my cousin on the McComber side. My Mom's maiden name was McComber. 

We hung out a lot and she was lonely so I took her under my wing. We cooked meals at each other's home and I never painted before she said I love to paint give me them brushes and turn  up the tunes girl and she went to town. 

I felt so sad for her when she told me that she'd be moving back to Detroit. She said life was too hard on the Rez and plus she missed city life.

We kept in touch by phone for years then lost contact. But the bonds between us were never broken. 

Having had the chance to talk & hear her voice on the phone made time stand still. She told me if all went well she'd be home for the 2019 Pow Wow and I was so happy. 

I felt my heart drop when she passed away she will be missed my me forever. Until we meet again Doris I send you my love up into the Spirit World Cousin
