Not sure what to say?

Our family will surely miss Doris. She was one of the kindest people that we have ever had the pleasure to know and our family was blessed to have her in it. Our love to all.

I was very saddened to learn of Doris' death. I knew her through the Woman's Club. She was a delightful person who will be missed. God bless you and bring you comfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this traumatic time. I have many fond memories of Doris. One was her southern charm and manners. Even though I was there via Home Helpers, she still wanted me to stop and visit with her when I was preparing lunch or cleaning the kitchen. Bettie White, Home Helpers.

Doris was a dear family friend and special person - my mother's college roommate! I enjoyed many visits as a child 'on both sides of the river', and send my deepest sympathy to Dexter and Penny.

A delightful neighbor - she always had a smile. Our condolences to those Doris left behind.

A delightful couple. Doris will be missed. May God fill the void and bless you with wonderful memories as you travel this life-changing experience.

I spend a great deal of my childhood at the Haven's and would always say as I left to go home, "I had a nice time, Mrs. Haven!" and she would refrain, "Glad you did Mary, come again!" Doris holds a special place in my heart. My love to Dexter and Penny.

Memories of Doris and Dexter coming up the river in their fishing boat make me smile. Always together, they enjoyed fishing, crabbing and especially traveling to interesting places.
I feel very lucky to have know these two very special people. They have been an important part of my life. I will miss my friend.
