Not sure what to say?

Doris was a wonderful and vivacious LADY. She always made you feel welcome when in her home. I made three costumes for her when she performed during the reopening of the New Amsterdam Theater and it was pure pleasure. I surely miss her and her sunshiny face.

Godspeed Doris, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

looking at her was like looking at a bright shiny star.I would have loved to have met her.

I agree with all the obviously heartfelt tributes to this great lady. Almost all the tributes came from people who knew her later in her illustrious life. I knew her from her Arthur Murray days. She was an inspiring and eminently successful leader. I'm sure there would be a lot more tributes from my Arthur Murray associates if they knew of this outlet for their accolades.
She lived and loved life and her legacy to all of us I'm sure would be to do just that. My condolences to all of...

I met Doris when she moved to Oklahoma in 1971, it has been a wonderful friendship for 40 years. I will miss her smile, the chats we would have, the parties and the dinners we would share. I have been very blessed to have had her in my life. Now I see her dancing with Paul and doing skits with Charlie. I know there is another Angel to watch over me.

I am going to miss Doris in so many ways, I wish the whole world could have known her the way I did. Doris always made me feel at home when I was with her, she had a quiet dignity about her that I respected in so many ways, she never had mean words to say about anyone, if she was upset with something you did she would just tell you and then it was forgotten. I always wanted to make her day's as special as possible, I felt like I wanted to give her something back for all she gave. I will miss...

If we could all affect the world as she has, how wonderful it would be. She sounds like one person who definately lived life to the fullest. God has blessed you as her family with many wonderful memories. May you treasure those and speak of her for many generations to come. How proud you must be of her and her legacy. God Bless you all.

My first portrait in watercolor to my Aunt who always taught me to keep a goal in front of me.

Like fancy ribbons she rode in beauty's air while curls and swirls danced in lacy golden rays.
As if peeking through a side swept lake came glimmering eyes in notes of praise.
Soon she cleared the halo of morning's misty face and kissed the vast blue horizons endless space.
Drifting clouds softy embraced evergreen rugged mountain scenes.
She disappeared laughing with echoes of swiftly changing season's gliding past.
