the Doris Stoehr memorial crosswalk


Back in January, my sister's mother-in-law, Doris Stoehr was hit and killed while trying to cross a street in Las Vegas. Yesterday the Doris Stoehr Crosswalk had a dedication and ribbon cutting and it was covered by the 3 major news stations, including KLAS 8 News Now, the station my brother-in-law works at. Here are the links to the stories:

When we spent Thanksgiving at Denise's house last November, Doris came for dinner and we got to see her, too. I'm so glad we had a little time together and got to see her one last time. We are so glad that they were able to put a crosswalk up and that they honored her by naming it after her.
