A Caring Person

Doris Taylor was a caring person. Her daughter Grace recalled a time when her mother was cooking up some very delicious smelling meat for supper, it was during the winter and quite cold and rainy outside. Doris looked out the window and was upset to see an old man from the local nursing home out in the cold. It bothered her that the nursing home did not taking better care of the old people. She called him into the house, set him down by the stove and gave him the dinner she had been fixing for her self and Grace. Her daughter-in-law Joan also remembers Doris collecting her washing every Monday and bringing it back on Thursday when she was in hospital. Doris would walk both ways from their house in Turton Road to her own flat in Scorton Ave (her last residence), a distance of over 4 miles.
