Doris-My Friend
You have always held a special place in my heart. I have missed seeing you these past years but always knew you understood. We will meet again.

You were and will always be a very special lady in my heart.  Now you are one Gods very special Angels.

Doris you were Josiah's first bus driver and he loved you! You were great with the children!! I miss your face at lunch time passing you! RIP you were a very kind hearted person!! You will be missed by lots!! xoxox

To the family of Doris, With deepest sympathy, so sorry for your loss, June Post, Rhinebeck, New York

Mom, 
You were one of a kind. The kids always had such wonderful memories with you going to the creek, with your chickens, finding worms. You were there right next to them and they all treasure the memories and each time it was a different memory. I always loved the talks we had upstate. We will miss you dearly. Rest In Peace Mom xoxo

Ms. Doris you will forever be in my heart, I've dealt with you for years and I appreciate you having so much passion and love for those little ones.... You are an angel of God as you were with us...... R.I.P

You will be greatly missed by my Day care children you have picked up for yrs and definately by me,, We have shared alot of laughs through out the yrs,  You were truly an amazing one of a kind person,  Rest in peace my friend.

Not many aunts would get on hands & knees and play Barbies with her nieces, but you did. Not many aunts would always remember those girls' birthdays, but you did. Not many aunts would console a 5-year-old who got scratched pretty good after yanking a kitten by its tail without saying "I told you so" (even though you did tell me so), but you did.
You had a loving and giving nature and the world just won't be the same without you, Aunt Doris. God bless you. xoxo

Ms. Doris was the simply the best and my prayers and sympathy go out to her family. So many little ones have been blessed to have spent time with her and so many of us big ones learned from her example.

Doris,
You will be greatly missed by everyone who crossed your path! My kids and I loved you and your kind nurturing heart! RIP

I am so very thankful that my girls and I were lucky enough to meet such a kind and loving person. Thank you so  very much for all you did for Analeigh and Shaylyn.
