McCool family: Doris was a beloved TOPS sister of ours. We didn't know her for long, but it didn't take long to learn what a giving, caring person she was, and so creative! TOPS won't be the same without her. Best wishes. Andrea, Desire', and Nina White

I have known Doris from MCG for several yrs. She was always stopped and spoke to me when passing. I had no idea she was sick. I am so sorry for your loss.

I only met Doris a few years ago when she and mom were in the Red Hat group I'm part of now, but she was a wonderful, sweet woman, who would go out of her way to help others. I'm sorry we lost such a good friend.
