Nana, I'd have to say my fondest memories were back in Georgetown, walking the development visiting every Tom, Dick, and Harry that lived there (you know you all did at one time! lol ) I would be exhausted from walking and visiting and you would make me keep plugging along until we settled somewhere for a cup of tea. And God forbid we left the house without our lipstick! Yikes, we were almost unrecognizable! But those weekends trips lasted for many years and we stayed up many late nights watching The Tonight Show and cursing most of the guests for of one reason or another, yet you made it fun! I always looked forward to the weekend sleepovers and visits to the Dedham mall with whoever was headed that way. (Ellen, Rose, Michelle, Ann and may more... Thanks for the ride by the way) Those weekends will always be remembered and cherished and that is always the way that I will remember you. Love you always, Jenny Lee XOXOXOXOX

Auntis Doris, i miss going to your house for X-mas eve every year and tearing apart your bedroom. I don't know how we all fit into the G-Towne apartment but we did it. I remember singing X-mas carols with everyone, jammed in the living room, and then the whole family begging Jimmy to do a solo.(and he would. haha) Thank you for all those great memories, I Love You and Miss You.

Dear Doris and family,
When I think of you the first thing that comes to mind is Christmas Eve. Your house was my fav. tradition. I also think of coffee in the morning at my Nanna's house. You, Ellen, Deedee, Judy, susan and linda were always there. I loved that you all were so close. It taught me the importance of family. Thank you for everything.
Love Lisa

Doris, You were a blessing to many, and you in turn were very blessed. You gave so much of yourself, especially to your son and all your girls who returned that love ten fold in the last few years. You must be very proud of each and every one of them. You done good! Thanks for so many great memories. We'll think of you often.
With love,

Paul & Kim MacDonald

Doris,
Where do we begin? Paul and I have so much to say, we couldn’t fit in all in a book if we tried. But we will sum it up beginning with Paul: Doris, My first memories of you are visiting you and Grandma on Hecla Street with Norma & Cindy living upstairs and Joan Cannata living downstairs in that three family house. Little did I know that years later at the age of fifteen, I would live with you. I will always appreciate those times, especially all the nights you went to Bingo and I would have sneaky parties at the house with all my friends. I will also remember how you were always supposedly so sickly, when in fact; you were healthier than all of us. (Ha Ha Ha) Doris, you were a great person at heart and I truly appreciate all that you have done for me and this family. I will miss you until the day I die, Love Always, Paul. Now Kim’s thoughts: Doris, My memories go way back when I was a little girl around the age of ten and you came to my dance recital and I slept over your house with Christine and Debbie. You also went to Bingo with my Mom. Who would ever thought that I would end up falling in love with your nephew Paul and hanging out in your house talking about things that happened before Paul and I ever met! Sometimes we feel if it wasn’t for you, things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did for us. Doris, Paul, David and I will always love and miss you beyond words can say, Love always, Kim

Auntie Doris, Every time I saw you, you would throw your arms around me and give me a great big kiss on the lips! Everyone should show their love for one another the way you did, so genuine and from the heart. I promise to follow in your footsteps that way! I love you

Nana, everyone always told me how much you spoiled me as a kid. I guess I never actually realized how much until I had a daughter of my own. You weren't just my Nana - you were a true friend and you will be missed more than I could ever express in words. All my love and kisses. Chris. XOXO
