I worked with Doris for many years. She was a (purple) force to be reckoned with. Her kindness, wit and sense of humor will long be remembered. We had so many laughs at the CSEA. I am so lucky to have known her. May she rest in peace.

Kenny, Pam, Karen and Jeff: I am so sorry for your loss. Doris and I worked together for years. She was much more than a co-worker: Doris was a good friend. I will miss her. Doris and George - together again.
