My condolences to all of the family. I knew Doris from Dr. Cui's office. Interesting that I just drove by the old office the other day and thought of them!
May your wonderful memories of this fine lady help you through your time of sorrow.

Doris was the Office Manager at my doctor's office. There were times when I didn't feel well, but by the time I left the office she would say something that would encourage me and have me laughing. She was a wonderful woman who loved God. I will always remember her bright smile!

You have my deepest sympathy for the loss your mother I am sure she will be greatly missed. I have many fond memories of growing up on briar drive, and all the great neighbors we had there. I often think back on those days, the block parties and cook outs. Max, Doris, and family were always a part of it. Darnise, you will be remembered in my prayers, all my best dick morgan

We did not meet Doris. However, we knew her through family members.We heard only good things from her niece Teressa Caddell and what a fine lady she was. To the family we send our thoughts and prayers and may God shelter you under his wings.

Doris was such a wonderful, dynamic person. We were in Credit Professionals together, and Doris was always so actively involved. May God bless and comfort all her friends and family who will miss her so.
