Doris was a sweet, kind lady. A member of my church. Rest now my friend
Doris was always so kind and thoughtful. She was an inspiration and set a good example for others to follow.
Doris was such a special friend to my mom, Shirley Probasco.
I’m sure they must be having fun playing Bridge in heaven.
