My aunt will definetely be missed by many, especially her loving niece. I admired her strength, adored her knowledge and aspired to be more like her everyday. Because I know earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal, I know that she is safe in his arms. To my family, let's remember her for all the marvelous things that she has done and all she has given to others.

My dear cousin, our hearts are so full with sorrow at this time, because another beautful flower has been picked from God's garden. We know that the pain of losing a loveone with as much spirit and personality as Doris is not easy to bear but take comfort in knowing that God never makes mistakes and he is calling his angels home to glory and as long as we keep our precious memories and her beautful smiling face in our hearts she will never, ever be forgotten.

We love you cousin, and always know that we are here for you at anytime
especially during your time of sorrow.
