I will always remember this lovely lady and her family. I was her Respiratory Therapist and she lived life to the fullest despite her ALS. It always made me smile to know that she still enjoyed her wine every day! She is truly missed.
XOXO

I had the honor of working with this remarkable woman and her amazing family during her journey with ALS. Doris was an upbeat lady that took things in stride and continued to enjoy life during her battle. I will miss her and her wonderful children that respected and took the best care of her. I am Blessed to have had the opportunity to know them. Much Love and Prayers for all of you.

Doris was truly one of the most magnificient people I've known in all of my 75 years. She was kind, giving, loving, amazingly witty, generous with her time, and always ready to help a friend. She will be missed by ALL who knew her and were blessed by her friendship. I will always love you, my dear friend. God bless you. I miss you terribly but am so grateful you have gone to Heaven and finally are out of pain. You did not deserve ALS but you so deserve to be with God and your family again who crossed over before you.
