Colleen, Jenny and Lara-your mom was a wonderful person, admired lady and special friend. Whether greeting customers at Geppetto's Toys, at her home, while shopping, or at the sheepshead table, she was always warm and welcoming. I will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I suspect she is up there planning, decorating and cooking for some heavenly gathering-she was just the BEST at entertaining and making everyone feel special. Doris was a gift and a joy to all who knew her!
