Aunt Doris you will be missed by many but I hold and cherish 57 years of wonderful memories that I have had with you. I will miss you smile, your laughter and your beautiful voice. You will never be forgotten and I cherish and I am blessed to have been able to call you Auntie!!
RIP Aunt Doris and tell my mom, your sister (Adella) hello from me. Another angel to watch over all of us. Love you!! To Teresa, Toni, Ed, Tom & Ken, my heart breaks for you and you all are in my thoughts and prayers…hugs to you all!
My sympathy is with you all at the passing of Doris.
She was a wonderful lady and my family was blessed for knowing her. She was my mother’s friend (Imogean Stanfield) for many, many years! I continued to call Doris on her birthday after my mom’s passing, as this is what they did because their birthdays were a day apart.
She will be missed and friends are together again.
