Doris meant a lot to me.  She was always there when I needed her even when she was sick.  She was a wonderful person, and made a huge impact on my life.  I know she is watching all of us from heaven.  We miss and love you Doris.

Kristy and family,
I'm sorry to learn of the passing of Mrs. Gebhart.  Her memorial reads that she had a beautiful life
and will be missed by many.  God bless you.  Charles Weeks

Our sincerest condolences to all members of the Gebhart family.  Our first encounter with Doris was when we walked into my mothers room at the Hospice Center in Madison.  Mother died the next day.  Though the room was nearly dark, Doris was reading the Bible to my mother.  It was an impression that I will always remember.  We met two times after that.  The final time was the day of the funeral.  To this day I was always impressed with the caring and compasion shown by Doris to my mother and our family.

Dear Gebhart Family, I wanted to send my condolences to your family.  I knew Doris through Associates in Family Medicine.  I feel so fortunate to have known Doris.  She was truly a wonderful caring person.  She had an amazing spirituality about her that was truly inspiring.  I will miss seeing her.

To Doris' family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Kacy and Ingvar

Howard, Kristi, Erin, David, and Lucas,
I am so sorry about the loss of your mother and grandmother.  I know it is hard to lose a parent because I lost my father about ten years ago.  You have my thoughts and prayers that you will experience God's comfort.
Love,
Denise

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  Doris was one of the most memorable people I have ever met.  She was very instrumental in the forming of the Highland/Muscoda Parish.    We all loved her very much and missed her when she went to Colorado.  She was a friend to all and never missed an opportunity to meet someone new. She will be deeply missed.  Janet Aide

My thoughts and prayers are with the Gebhart family and their african daughter Racheal. Doris was open to loving unconditionally and will be dearly missed.

Blessings to the family of Doris Gebhart from Doris Sawyer in Muscoda, Wisconsin. I am writing this for my mother who is now 86 and is almost blind. My mother is very saddened to hear about her friend Doris' passing. She is hoping her birthday card arrived in time for Doris to read it. My mom was a member of Pulaski Church in Muscoda. Doris G. referred to mom's house as the Sawyer Hotel when she came back to visit and stay in Wisconsin. Your mother and grandmother has done so much for the churches in the Muscoda and Highland area. Her legacy of sharing pastors and combining congregations in fellowship lives on. I recently returned to the area to live and have been trying to help preserve the Pulaski Church. Your mother/grandmother recently wrote a letter to the John Knox Presbytery urging them to deed the church over to the congregation so we can put it on the historic registry. It was a wonderful letter and a testament of her faith. I am grateful to her for doing this. But that was Doris' way, always helping others. God was waiting for her. You will miss her but we are assured that we will see our loved ones again. We'll hear her deep voice when we all arrive on that glorious day and she will be at the gate greeting everyone. Thank you for sharing Doris Gebhart with us in Wisconsin. My friend formerly from Wisconsin, Bonita Hubbard said she attended the service and it was beautiful. She described it to me in an email so I will be sharing it with the folks back here. Blessings and comfort to your family.

Although I only met Doris last summer, she impressed me as a vibrant, life and family loving woman.  She passed too soon and will be missed.

To Doris's Family, 
    As a member of the Southridge golf group, I know that we will all miss seeing our partner,her smile, hearing her wonderful laugh, and listening to those great stories.
    She made a point to make everyone feel welcome and accepted into our group. Doris enjoyed playing with each person and was always ready to give encouragement or a ""little"" advice if it was requested.Doris was happy to see anyone make a shot or sink a putt. She was always so glad to be out with us on Tuesdays and boy when she hit a good shot she would just beam!! I'm so glad she got that hole in one last summer-I'm sure she is still beaming from that day.
Doris spoke often of her beloved family and I hope that you will all carry her love with you as you deal with her death and go forward with your lives. We are better people for have shared some time and a few laughs with Doris.
Wishing you Peace,
Nancy Pieper 
ps
I am sorry to have missed her services-I am out of town this week.

To the Gebhart families:
Our hearts go out to you during this time. 
Doris was a loving and generous lady.  We are glad that we had a small amount of time to share with her during the sporting events our son and her grandson played in together.  She had a beautiful smile and a wonderful way of making each and every one of us feel blessed. She will be missed by all that knew her.
May God speed be with you all.

Racheal and family:
The thoughts and prayers of our entire team are with you in this difficult time, but also as you celebrate the life of your mother, Doris.  She sounds like a wonderful, caring and giving person that touched many people in her life.

My sympathy to Doris' family.  My friendship with Doris has been through Church Women United, and I will miss her very much.  She presented some excellent programs for us which were appreciated by all our members.  She was a wonderful, inspirational woman.  We are honoring her memory with a ""Doris Gebhart Fund"" to extend the projects we do to help needy women in our community.
  May all of you experience God's peace and have many happy memories.
              Betty Moseley

All Members of Doris""s Family,    Marv and I send all of you our deepest sympathies. We have many great memories of our times with Doris! I was also a ""Saturday Sipper"", and the mornings  that we shared together were priceless! For each of our birthdays,Doris would rewrite a catchy tune to fit the birthday girl. What fun it was! We also shared our dinner table with her African friends, and were enriched with their culture and personalities. She will be greatly missed by all of us.   God Bless! Cathy & Marv Simplot

Dear family and friends: Doris will always live in my heart. As the first commissioned lay pastor of the presbytery, she was an inspiration and trailblazer (an apt description of her personality) for those of us who followed; but for me personally, she was a mentor, someone who patiently allowed me to practice under her watchful care for many years before it was time to be on my own. For her willingness to share her divinely given gifts, I am eternally grateful.

To the Gebhart Family and Friends, 
We send our heartfelt sympathy. Doris was a dear "" Saturday Sipper Friend"" who graced our table for many years sharing coffee,
laughter, songs, tears and hugs. When she left Highland, she promised to come visit often which she did but her promise to visit one last time went on a detour to Heaven. We send our prayers and hugs to you all. We know what a treasure she and how sadly she will be missed.
In her loving memory, 
Gail Richgels  Highland, WI 53543

Gebharts:
I wish to pass on to you my profound sympathy at the passing away of Doris ""known to me as Howard's MOM"".  She came across as a very kind and engaging lady from our meetings in Fort Collins, Co and Kittanning, PA.
Howard and Kristi friend

May the Lord bless and keep you in His tender care.  My prayers will be with you as you gather to praise God and honor Doris' life.

Doris was one of our ""Saturday Sippers"".  She definately brightened our Saturdays.  We spend many years having coffee, celebrating birthdays and holidays, and just overall being good friends.  Doris was the bright spot when we needed it and a should to lean on as well.  Her upbeat attitude and dedication to her faith will be missed by all who knew her.  My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time.  The ""saturday sippers"" will truly miss our Doris.

Doris was a great people person.  She made all she met feel valued and cared for.  She was a wonderful mentor on the golf course and grew the Tuesday morning ladies nine holers to a very large group.  She will be missed for her sense of humor, her positive attitude, and the friend that she was to us all.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  Doris was an amazing person, and I enjoyed spending time with her after my father's funeral, and when I went to visit her in Colorado.

I am so glad I knew Doris and glad she was my neighbor.  She had a real zest for life and made us all so happy.  Bless her, Ramona

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.  We were blessed to spend time with Doris when she came out for Chuck's funeral, and we are all so sorry we cannot join you tomorrow.  We are with you in  spirit, and share in your grief.

Dear Sue,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother sounded like a beautiful person who was full of life. I can see her in you.  Keep those beautiful memories in your heart.  Please know that you are dearly loved and I, all to well, know the pain you are going thru.  I am hear for you and I wish I could be there with you.
May God give you strength and comfort to help you through this time.
Love,
Judy

Doris has been a shining light in so many lives. I will miss her wisdom, her wit, and her wonderful laughter. She has made me a better person and a better golfer. I am so grateful to have been her friend. My love and condolences to her dear family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in the passing of Doris. I enjoyed meeting and talking with her at Oakwood School, and hearing stories of her life and travels.  I loved the sparkle in her eyes and her smile. She was special and I will miss her.
