Doris Marie Progen

Dearest Lisa Jae, Sihaya, Kendal, Chelsea, and Elde,
I was sad to hear about Mimi's death. What I remember most about her was I could relax and be me in her presence. Her accepting spirit, and love was a great comfort. She lived her wisdom. I'm glad I met her in your Alaskan home. In sympathy, and love.

Doris' Creed
from her daughter Lisa's reading.

You can always be a decent person, even in the most challenging situations.
You can always choose to be the bigger person.
You must not judge another unless you've walked in his moccasins.
Expect the best from others, extend grace always.
Give everyone your courteous attention.
Respect others and they will respect you.
Pray for those that need it, and we all need it.
Listen to lots of music, all...

Dear Ilene,Shelley,Michael,Chris and Lisa,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Aunt Doris' passing. I had hoped that Phyllis and Doris would have a day together...it would have been a wonderful visit filled with reminiscing of the many rich memories they shared together as close friends through the years.
Doris will always hold a special place in my heart. Such an amazing woman! What I remember most is her joyful spirit; just being in her presence was an infusion of pure joy and the...

Doris will be greatly missed at Davita. She was loved by patients and staff alike. I will keep your family in my prayers. She was the kind of person you do not meet very often.

"Aunt Doris" and her family were a huge part of my families lives long before I was born. My parents had a very special freindship and deep love for Doris and her children. My second home was at the Progen's...my second Mom was "Aunt Doris".
Growing up with them was so unique and fun! The atmoshpere she created in her home was filled with love and more than welcoming. Lisa and I grew up together literally from the playpen and through our teens. I stayed over my bestfriend/sisters home...

Dear Chris & Jayne,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your loving care and kindness was evident. May you find comfort with family and friends. In Sympathy and Love, Lisa Angel and family

Long, long ago we grew up with the Progen family - we lived near one another in South Fitchburg and had a wonderful childhood. Islene was my best friend - and I have celebrated her successes along the way. Shelley and Chris were young. But, I so vividly remember your Mom. She was a talented woman, an accomplished woman, a busy mom, but she always had time for everyone. I remember the music coming from your home - and we all loved hearing it. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at...

To all friends who have left your kind messages here...

Reading these personal tributes to our Mother is so heartwarming and such a comfort to me and my family. We love her so much, as you do. Deep thanks for your kindness.

So sad to read this news. Doris was my very first "neighbor" as a homeowner on Seneca St from 1978 thru 1985.We had many conversations and one especially was of a huge weeping willow in my yard that swayed back & forth in high winds...to cut it or not was always the question..no cut was the decision.To have been fortunate to listen to her piano playing should have been used as part of the real estate advertisement. Talk about an extra. She was a wonderful person. Sincerely,
Johnl, Nancy,...
