Doris was as dear as a mother to me. I have such happy memories of her warm welcome and sweet laugh and funny stories every time I came to see Tonya, her beloved daughter and my best friend. Doris filled the kitchen with candy and my heart with love. The world is a little less bright with her gone. My deepest sympathies to Tonya and Terry, their loved ones and family.
