Not sure what to say?

I knew Doris only through Leslie's
'My Mom' stories.

Doris seemed to be an incredible person and friend.

Leslie, you must have learned to light the world from your Mom.

I send my condolences to all of Doris' family and friends.
May Doris' spirit and your memories of her, bring you comfort and a joy.

Doris was a delight! I visited her often at SF Towers SNF. I was very sorry that she did not return there at the end. She is now resting in peace, and heaven is a MUCH livlier place!

With love, prayer, and deep sympathy.

We will always remember Doris for her warm embraces -- physical, whenever we visited and virtual -- embracing all that was beautiful and needed her care -- art, music, and people in need. She will be missed!

In a world where so many seem to operate utter the proviso of "what's in it for me" and are takers, Doris embodied the antithesis--leaving this world with so much more than she was given. While the many of us she leaves behind feel the pain of her passing, she is still here in innumerable ways. That legacy, in conjunction with the fact that she is now free of the physical pain of a body that betrayed her youthful exuberance, will hopefully serve as a measure of comfort in the days, weeks...

Though I did not know Doris well, I felt privileged to know her. I always enjoyed talking to Doris when I saw her at functions. She was truly a delightful person. I will miss her. My heartfelt condolences go to all her family and friends.
