Not sure what to say?

Doris was a lovely. I know she was welcomed into heaven by my dad, and the many family members & friends who thought so much of her kind heart. My condolences.

Doris hired me before I graduated high school...my first paying job as I´d always worked alongside our parents and siblings on our family farm so we had that in common. She always greeted me by name even years afterward if we happened on each other in town and always had a good word for me as we caught each other up on our families. Always a ready smile and her soft voice made you want to do better and improve yourself day by day...she will be missed. Thank you for the opportunity to explore...

This was Aunt Doris's goodbye message to my mom. I know they are reunited together enjoying these memories. Lena and I were very close sisters and best friends. We shared our lives by always living in close proximity as we raised our children. We enjoyed needlework, especially counted cross stitching, and spent many afternoons together creating lovely pictures while chatting away! I´ll always remember her delightful lunches of homemade tacos!! We took walks together, went shopping...

sorry for your loss mark tod

I hated getting the news that you passed, Doris. I haven't seen you in years but, have great memories of you and Ted when I was growing up! You guys were like family and always accepted everyone. You always made me feel special and loved, we lived in a wonderful community. Your smile and heart were infectious! My heart is full of joy every time I think of you! I will see you again one day soon! All my love, thoughts and prayers are with Todd and Mark and the rest of the family and friends!...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Doris was an asset to Tipton Hospital for many years. She built a wonderful nursing staff. Doris was a great nurse, fabulous leader, and a mentor to many. She mentored me and inspired me to have many different opportunities in the hospital to learn. She originally hired me in 1970 for a nursing assistant position. Later she hired me into the position of a registered nurse...

I will always miss you Aunt Doris. I love you.

I love you.
