I will always remember Doris. Her wit and sense of humor in the choir loft on Sundays (in Hammond) and at rehearsals will never be forgotten. She always brought a smile to my face. She was really missed in choir when she relocated. My deepest sympathy to all of her family members. She truly was a treasure.

My sincere condolences on your loss. I had the priviledge to work with Doris, in the School system. She was always a pleasure to deal with. Hers was not an easy job, and I never saw her down. May she rest in peace. Sincerely,
Mike Spudic Jr.
