I am so sorry to hear of Doreen's passing.I knew her from the doctor's office where she worked. She was kind and very funny. She loved to talk about her family and especially her neices and nephews. She loved her dogs. Doreen was a kind gentle person I know she is in heaven watching over those she loved on earth.

I am so sad to hear about Doreen's passing. My sympathy goes out to all of her family. Have not seen her or her family in long time. But when I was growing up Doreen was like a older sister to me and her brother and sisters were also family to me. Once again my heart goes out to Janet, Gary, Diane, Donna and Janice along with all their families. May she rest in peace.

I recently heard of Doreen's passing. I knew her for the past few years from the Dr's office she worked at. She was always kind and very friendly and treated me like she had known me for many, many years. We recently exchanged stories about our families and I was looking forward to seeing her again at my next visit. I will miss her and I am so sorry for your loss.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dearest Doreen,
I know how much we shared the same heart and love for God and also for the great four legged animals that He created. You were a wonderful Puppy Mama to your furry babies. I will deeply miss our chats, hanging out and even watching TV together. I know in my heart that you are sitting at the feet of Jesus and He loves and cares for all of so very much. Thank you for always being such a good friend to me. I will miss you for now but can rest easy we will see each other again in heaven. I will be keeping your family in my prayers during this bereavement.

Dear Mrs Leach,
Doreen and I were very close till I moved away in 4th grade. We had just gotten in touch with each other and had plans to get together when I came to visit in late July. I am shocked and very sad to here that she has passed. I have many childhood memories that we were just 1 month ago were laughing about. My prayers r with u and your family. I asked Doreen to say hello to you from me. She had just written to me and said that you were her best friend. Love and peace to you and yours.
