Doris is as a wonderful friend and nurse. I had the pleasure and privilege to work with her at TCC for several years. She loved her family, friends, and cats and she was a great nurse.

What a joy it was to know Doris. She was one of the kindest people. I enjoyed working with Doris at Northeast Tarrant County College. She always had a smile. She loved each person and treated them with respect. We will miss her.
