Teddy, Peter and Diane, and to all your kids, I'm so sorry I couldn't be there today for the funeral. My mother is absolutely bereft. I'm still in shock. I don't think it is hyperbole to say Doris was the toughest woman I ever knew, and I truly thought she'd outlive us all. She was an incredible friend: fiercely loyal but always willing to speak the truth, even if it might offend. She stuck by my mother through thick and thin, and her tough love was directly responsible for saving my mother's life at least once. It's a testament to Doris that her memory will live on, not just in her kids, grandkids and great grandkids, but in a wide circle of friends whose lives were deeply affected by her strength and love.

Dorrie was an amazing woman. She lived such a full life. Allan and I will always remember her as the most interesting person at Ted and Grace's parties where she would delight and entertain us all with her travel tales. She adored her family and was a devoted friend.
Ted, we send you our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom. We will dearly miss her.
