To Doris's Family, you have my deepest sympathy on your loss. I have fond memories of Doris being a great co-worker. She was a kind and helpful friend to everyone at Stone Terrace. We had many fun times, especially during our monthly dinner parties. She was always smiling, bringing joy to all. Heaven has gained another angel.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. I am honored and blessed to have known and to have spent time with Doris. I have grand memories of sitting in her kitchen eating her chili that I loved so much. She was loved by all of us and she will be cherished in our memories forever.

So sorry to learn of Doris's passing. She was always such a nurturing, loving, and positive person to be around. I have very fond memories of her from my childhood, and often referred to her as a second mother to me. She will be missed. What a life well lived.
