Our family is deeply saddened by the passing of our favorite aunt. We have spent many a fun weekend with picnics at the park and at the lake. Doris was such a beautiful woman who gave us all a high standard to live by. We hope the sadness of the family will pass soon, and they will be happy for her new life free of any sickness and sorrow. We love each of you, and we hope to stay in touch. Thanks for all you did for Doris to make her stay on earth a better one. Thanks also to her wonderful caregivers who were wonderful friends to Doris and became a part of our family.
May peace be with you all.
Love to all,
Betty, Perry, and Libby

I am so saddened to hear of Doris' passing, yet I know she now shares the victory of Christ's resurrection. Doris was a wonderful, faithful person and I treasured her friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with her families.
