Doreen always loved her flowers and was very much one of the most delightful gardners I have ever met, she spent hours and labor in her garden and it was
always a delight to see, she also gave bulbs to me specifically, Dahlias, I love her for that and always will. May her heart and soul fly with angels always at her back. Love you, Lynda

Kari,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. Although I never met your mother, I appreciated hearing about her and all the love she shared with human and furry family over the years. You are a fantastic role model for us, as she was to you.

Dearest Kari,
Tom and I were so sorry to hear that your mom had passed away. Please know you have our deepest sympathy and prayers. I know how painful it is to lose your mom. Find comfort in years of wonderful memories and knowing she is surrounded by beauty and love beyond what we can even understand.
With love, Annie Woods

I met Doreen only twice, the last time only one week before she passed away. She was a beautiful woman with a delightful sense of humor and a quick mind. I enjoyed our short visit so much and was so impressed with her love of life and her knowledge. As long as there are those that remember us,our stories and love, we are never really gone. Doreen will be with you and your family forever! - Marvilla

I loved getting to know Doreen over the last ten years or so. Listening to her compelling stories and sharing banter over tea and cookies. She was fun to tease and always gave as good as she got! One of my favorite memories is of a Christmas sing in my little living room, with Doreen and Gene who were up to visit Kari that year. It was my privilege to assist in a small way in her care here in Anchorage, and to spend time with her as her life here came to a close. I am blessed for having known and loved her.

Not everyone can say that they had 'two' true mother however I was blessed with these incredible ladies. Mommy Donna inspired me to explore every facet of life and taking risks only meant being open for my dreams. Mom Doreen enable me to heal and be a friend before becoming a mother. She encouraged me to continue the journey and know there was always someone who believed in me.
When Mom Doreen passed recently, she was concerned that my father wouldn't greet her in Heaven because he'd returned to his first love. I let her know that Donna would welcome her and embrace her for being the one who could fiill her place and take over where she could not; I suspect they have become as sisters and are both watching over all of us now, Rita, Nancy, Kimmie, and Kari..!

Mom you were my best friend, mentor, confidant and sounding board. You taught me compassion, dignity and respect. I promise I will try everyday to be the change you wished to see in the world. My heart aches because you are not physically here with us, but rejoices knowing that you are with God and those who went before you. May the tea always be piping hot and the cookies plentiful. I love you - Kari
