I did not know Doreen very well but she was a very dear friend to my mother Pat Parent. When my mother was in the hospital and was very ill, Doreen was there as often as she could be. She offered my sister to stay with her if she needed to, so she was closer to my mom. My brief time spent with her was enough to know that she was a wonderful woman with a big heart. Rest in peace Doreen. And my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this very sad time. Sincerely, Michelle Parent

Meme was a very special lady, I have many fond memories of her at Justin's sports games over the years. Sometimes while we were cheering the T.A. team on, she could be screaming louder than me and thats hard to do. She would yell out "Come on Jerry" and he knew who that was for, the rest of the T.A. crowd had NO CLUE, we just laughed and laughed THATS OUR MEME!
She attended many games between all of her grandchildren. They kept her busy. She was a very loving person opened her home to everyone. In the summer she would tell us the pool is open come and use it thats what its for. I will miss Meme very much. God Bless
