I'm very sad to hear this news. I'll always remember Doris from when our paths crossed during my time at Washington University School of Medicine. Her generosity changed and will continue to change lives for the better. My sincere condolences to David and Tracy, and the rest of Doris's family.

We are sorry to hear about Doris. We were neighbors in Park West a long time ago and our children knew each other. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Marcia and Hans Oberdorfer

Doris will be missed by me. My sincere condolences to the entire Holtzman family. I have only positive memories of Doris from my college years, my wedding (and Dave and Tracy's wedding), family visits to St. Louis, my daughter's graduation dinner from Wash U., dinner at our house outside of Chicago, and attending a Northwestern Alumni Award dinner. Doris was so proud of her family, but in a modest and discreet way.
