Not sure what to say?

I met Doris a few times. She was my aunt, her brother Jay Gold, was my father. My dad passed away in 2007. Doris was very kind to me.

I worked at WHYY-TV and PRISM Pay-TV and knew your mother well. We had may dinners together and if they tried to sit us near the kitchen I can hear Dori say "If I wanted to sit near the kitchen, I would have stayed home"..........but she said it with charm and a smile! (And we always got a much better table.)

Sad to learn of your mother’s passing. I’m glad to hear that you had your mom for all those years. Never easy to say goodbye

Conveying my condolences

I worked briefly with Dorie at Channel 17 in the 1970´s. Brief.. but meaningful and memorable. So meaningful that I invited her to my wedding in 1989, where she made every guest feel so special. She talked with them, interviewed them, and found something sweet and personal to say about every one of them. Dorie will always take up residence in my heart

I am so sorry, Lisa. If you have a chance, reach out to me so I know how to get in touch with you. Gary Kaplan
