I have such wonderful memories of working with Doris at ETHC years ago. I don't think I ever saw her without that sweet smile on her face. She was a wonderful, feisty little lady, so funny and spirited, and we are honored to have known her and Karl. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Doris and I became friends while I was working at Central Baptist Church. She was a precious lady! Hearing her sweet "Marilyn Monroe voice" (as she called it) on the phone always made my day brighter. Rest in peace sweet friend!
