As our cousin, Doris shared a very special place in our lives and in our hearts. For my brother Jay and me, and our mother Pat, her sudden passing is a great loss. But her spirit, her smile, and the love she shared will be with us always.

In the 21 years that I have known Doris, she always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say. She was a beautiful person, and I`m going to miss her.

Oh my, I am shocked to learn of Doris' passing. I met and knew her while I was a home hospice volunteer when Peter was sick. Doris was a lovely woman with a beautiful soul and spirit. Deepest sympathy to her family.
