I am sorry to hear of the passing of Doris. I met Doris through my Mom, Trudie Peyton. They met through the American Business Women's Association, and I also was a member for a short period of time. I recall many funny stories they both had shared with me of the fun times they had when they roomed together at the conventions, as well as other acitivites they partipated in together. Doris was just simply a lot of fun and had a big heart for everyone.
I also got to know Doris a little better when she started doing my income tax preparation--which she did for many years. She demonstrated her honesty and integrity in her business. I especially enjoyed my visits with her at this time and catching up with both of our families.
Doris will be missed, but not forgotten. I would like to think her and Mom are once again together, sharing stories.
