Dear Doris! I am proud to work with you and happily to be your friend. We had lots of laughs. You are a beautiful person to know. She came to work one day with her arm bandaged up and said she was caught by a fish hook, we would laugh about it. We lot of talks about everything, she was easy to talk to. She was also stubborn. But hard worker. I’m really going to miss her smile. RIP My friend. I love you.
Doris you will be greatly missed. Loved working with you! RIP
Doris you were a great person to work with even though i havent been there since 2009. You will be missed
Doris was a kind and generous person. She always had time for her ittle annoying cousins and patience for the adults the grew up to be. She was funny and found joy in life. I never heard her say a demeaning thing about another person. Reading others comments reinforces the fact that she was a good friend, aunt, cousin, and colleague.
God speed.
We grew up together as kids pick on each other (a lot) had a lot of fun playing baseball, riding bicycles and shooting cap guns at cars as they went by. I will miss you dearly
