Dear Ann and the family,
I can't remember ever meeting a gentler person, and I've met the Pope and Mother Teresa. Your Mom was also the easiest person to caddy for in all of Chicago Golf Club.

Dear Ann, brothers, and Donovan family,
Our family ties and love with Doris go back to the early days in Northborough, her nurse's training days here in Burlington and through the years to her final illness.
We have many loving memories of her and offer our sincere condolences to all the Donovans on the loss of such a wonderful person.
Sincerely,
Marjorie, Mary and Kathleen McGrath

To The Family of Mrs. Doris Donovan:
I wish to offer my deepest condolences to the loss of your mother. I truly remember her well. I went to school with Francis at St. Michaels and remember well the Donovan family and where they lived over by the Convent. Those truly were the good old days of laughter and fun. I am currently still teaching at Wheaton Warrenville South High School. Glad to see that all of you are doing well. Francis keep up the good work and keep them laughing.
I do have many fond memories of your Mom and her cookies.
Sincerely,
Jane Fisher
