I was a new grad (just 6 months out) when Doris hired me at Auburn VNA. I am so ever grateful for her giving me that chance. Because of her I am where I am today. She gave me the strength, the courage and the confidence to be a great Nurse. Doris was a wonderful supervisor. She was always kind, gentle and most of all understanding. She will always have a special place in my heart. She will be greatly missed.

Doris was a wonderful neighbor and friend. I'll miss our get togethers and most of all our "play dates" with Murray and Teagan. My prayers will be with all of the family as they go through this time of sorrow.

Doris,
Cara go deo!
There are only a handful of people who come into your world, and touch your life in a dramatic fashion. Some of the people are just flickers of light during a long life, while others are consistent glows for years.
Thank You Sissy for being my friend.
Slainte,
Sheila
