Doris had helped so many individuals. The work that she did will not be forgotten by those people that she helped. May God bring the family comfort during this time.

I'm so very sad to read this. Doris was such a kind sweet person to me. We met at the anxiety clinic in White Plains in 1995 where she helped me with my separation anxiety. She came to my wedding in 2001 and to my eldest daughters christening in 2005. I'll never forget her. My condolences to her daughter and her family.

Rest easy, Doris. It was my great pleasure to take care of you and get to know you all this time. Your daughter Barbara was always a devoted and kind person. She was always there for you and we looked forward to her visits. Remember our conversation about butterflies? They can't see their own beauty, but you always saw mine, and vice versa. You will be sorely missed by us all.
