To Doris' beloved family....

It was a privilege for me to have met Doris and to have participated in the Relay for Life with her. She was an inspiration to everyone who met her. Her love for her family, her zest for life, her sense of humor....were awe-inspiring. She leaves an amazing legacy.

I send my heartfelt condolences to all of you. May you (and all of us) find comfort in all of the happy memories that you/we have. May Doris rest in peace.

Love and hugs,
