As a fellow member of St. Lukes, I knew Doris for years as a warm and elegant woman who was generous with her smiles - and that gorgeous silver lock of hair - what a trademark! It seemed so fitting that such a striking feature be part of Doris.
I will miss her.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
