Dear Jack and family,

We, as a family, have gathered together (to escape Ike) remembering all the fun adventures we have had with Doreen over the many years of friendship. We have laughed, cried, toasted in the New Year, and shared many family memories. She will be greatly missed. We loved her dearly.

Mrs. Campbell was my neighbor as a child. I remember her being very doting as a mother to Lesley; very attentive to family matters in general. I feel that Mr. Campbell, Lesley, and Fred were blessed to have such a woman in their lives; I wish more kids today could have a mother like her. My thoughts are with the family, and especially the grandkids.

Dear Lesley and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was one of the highlights of having Taylor at Banff. She was a wonderful woman.

Jack, I would like to say I am sorry for your lost. If there is anything our family can do, please do not hesitate to knock on our door. Doreen what can I say she was the best, always able to make one laugh. The neighborhood will not be the same without her. All I can remember is her laughter and her in her flowerbed. Each time I look out the door I will see her in her yard, taking special care of her yard and you as well.
Love your Neighbors
Velasquez Family

Blessings to you,
