DORIS LARSEN

I struggled to call her Doris, as she often asked me to do. Because she was the mother of one of my closest and dearest lifelong friends, Steve, to me she was Mrs. Larsen.

To all of us who grew up in the comfort of her welcoming hospitality, she was thoughtful, generous, and kind. Caring yet unjudging, she let no conversation go without asking how things were going in my life. Her eyes twinkled when she greeted me, and her perpetual smile and warm personality were a hallmark. I will...

Doris's kind spirit will always be remembered by the Wong Family, who lived next door some decades ago. Our young daughters Tara, Naima, and Alison would find the secret hole in the fence to go see the Larsen's. Doris was always there, watching over all. She was as good as they come and her big heart will continue to be an inspiration.
