Barry and I are so sorry we were unable to be there to comfort you at this time. We both remember Doris as a shy, beautiful girl whom we admired. Dale and family, we can't say the words to comfort you but knowing she is out of pain and with her Mom, is a lot of comfort for all of us. It never gets easy,but it does get better with time. You are in our thoughts and prayers,

Dear Uncle Dale, Dustin, Dave, and Doug,
Expressing sympathy is never easy, all I can say is how sorry I am. The funeral yesterday was beautiful. I loved hearing the stories of Aunt Doris' life. She was a wonderful woman with such great qualities. I love how honest she was. I love how she always told you the truth. It's a lot easier to tell people what they want to hear, but Aunt Doris was much braver than that. She made me want to be a better person. I remember her being so giving. I have a journal that she made me 30 years ago that I still cherish. I know that life can be so hard sometimes and I'm sorry to see you hurting. I love you all.

Dear Dale & Family

My deepest condolences at this time. I'm very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you at this time of sorrow, both in the loss of Doris and Aunt Verda. Even though I could not be there in person your family is in my prayers every day. Please stay happy and enjoy the loving memories. My memories of the time you took me in so that I could finish High School are always there. I know it was hard having a teenager living in your home, but I am very grateful that you took me in and helped me in all the wonderful ways you were there for me. As I grew older I realized how hard that had to have been for Doris to have small children and deal with a teenager with a mind of her own. I never got a chance to really tell her thank you, but Dale I want you to know it meant the world to me. My love to you and yours.

Dale and Family:

It was with deep sadness that I read about Doris. Though it's been almost 40 years since I have been associated with her and her family, I still treasure the opportunity of singing with a quartet with her for a couple of years. May the Lord's comforting Spirit abide with you during this time. She is probably already registered to sing with Dorothy Brown.

Dear Dale

I am so sorry for your loss of our beloved Doris. I was also shucked when I heard the news. Sonia and I want to let you and the Marx family know that Doris was one of our great friends, very sincere, honest, smart, and compassionate person. We loved her; we missed her very much when we left the University of Utah a few years ago. We continued our friendship and as recently as a couple of months ago she herself told me about her illness. I was shocked but wished her comfort and peace. As you know, I worked closely with Doris, enjoyed her company, and very much respected her opinion and decisions. We will miss her very deeply but am sure that she is in a more comfortable place now with angels and saints. We wish you and the family peace and comfort and God's blessing and strength to help us all cope with the loss of our dear friend and beloved Doris.

Valerie,

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. Please know that your friends in Houston are all thinking of you and are sending prayers your way.

I found this poem and thought that you might like it:

The tide recedes,
But leaves behind
Bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down,
But gentle warmth
Still lingers on the land.
The music stops,
And yet it echoes on
In sweet refrains...
For every joy that passes,
Something beautiful remains.

Your friend,

I know that you always counted the days until you're retirement. It won't be the same without your "lifetime mate." Cherish the "Good memories," she was loved by many.

All my life Doris has been this wonderful caring woman who was a friend to my family. During almost every major event in the lives of my family, Doris has been there helping out with a smile on her face. She will be greatly missed, but also lovingly remembered.

Uncle Dale, Dustin, Dave, and Doug,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Aunt Doris was such a remarkable woman. I will always remember her as strong, kind, and so loving to my children. As I look through pictures I have of her at family get-togethers, she is always holding one of my daughters with a big smile on her face.

I will think of Aunt Doris everytime I make her delicious cheese soup...though I could never make it quite as good as she could. I will remember her every 4th of July family party when she is not the one making us all omlets by boiling the eggs in baggies. I will remember her for the remarkable crafts she would make and all of the wonderful things she would sew.

Most of all Aunt Doris will be remembered in my heart for her generosity to me. I remember once when I was little, my parents went out of town and and I stayed at your house while they were away. I was so sad and missed my parents and sisters who were staying elsewhere. Aunt Doris saw me crying one day and knew it was because I was homesick. She put her arm around me and promised to keep me so busy with crafts and cooking that I wouldn't have time to be sad anymore. She did just that...giving her time to find things to make me feel better. I will miss her!

I will always remember and cherish the time Aunt Doris spent teaching me how to do different crafts and sharing with me her good recipes and cooking ideas. I will also remember what a strong women she was and what a good role model she has been and will continue to be for me in my heart.

Love

Your wife, mother and grandmother will always live with you in your hearts, she has left a strong legacy of testimony and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and if you follow in her footsteps you will see her again when your turn on this earth is finished. She is in Gods hands and He never makes mistakes..He loves us and wants our joy.
