Doris, 28 years of friendship. Thru all the laughter, and tears we were always there for each other. The years have gone by too fast. So many wonderful memories I have of us... our first trip to Washington, our vacation to Virginia Beach, the cookouts at your home... I could go on forever, and that’s how your loving memory will forever be in my heart. We will forever miss you, but will hold you in our hearts forever. RIP our beloved friend till we meet again.     Love Joyce & Norm Gauthier 

With deepest sympathies to the entire Giunta family, we remember Doris.  She was a quiet but determined force in honoring Tommy's memory.  When we asked Doris' advice on what Tom would want, she immediately said "children" and "education".  Thus, some 25+ years later, now honoring all five officers the FRPD lost, the scholarships  continue to be our largest focus.  The annual Road Race became our biggest fundraiser supporting those scholarships, so Doris threw all her energy into making it better and more financially sound.  Even as she handed the groundwork reins to Dave Pacheco, she remained involved on a daily basis, literally.  We will remember  Doris always and continue her work.
The Fallen Officers Memorial Trust Committee.

Please accept my most sincere sympathy.
May she indeed rest in peace.

Our world has lost an angel. She didn’t deserve to suffer.  But she made the most out of her time on this earth. Now she gets to join the love of her life in a better place. Fly high our dear sweet friend. Until we meet again... 

With broken hearts,

Roberta and Roland 

Dear Doris, I will never forget the days we worked together at McGovern's. You would always be waiting for your lovers arrival.
You are together again, enjoy the hereafter!
May The Lord Be With You, Amen! Roger Roy.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.  Doris was a kind and loving person.  She always made you feel welcome.  She was dedicated to her children, step children and foster children.  She always put everyone first.  You will be sadly missed. May you rest in peace with your deceased loved ones.

Mrs. Giunta, 
You had a long and hard fight and now that fight is over and for that I am truly saddened.  You're family were your angels, now you're there's. 
My heartfelt condolences for the entire Giunta family.

The amount of memories we share would fill a novel, the amount of tears I have cried would fill a swimming pool, the amount of love everyone has for you will last a lifetime and then some. You were my Mimi, my best friend, my savior. I love you. 

Dear Guinta family,
We will miss Doris and all the memories we shared from Tommy's memorial races seeing his name on the wall in dc for the first time and experiencing Doris as an exceptional foster parent. All you gave for others will never be forgotten. 
Love BJ and Paul

I knew Doris when she was a Family Resource for DCF something that she did for many years.   Doris had an incredible heart and cared very much for the children/teens that came to stay with her especially those who remained permanently with her.   She also had a great love for animals especially dogs that she would foster until homes could be found.   You could not meet a kinder, loving a truly genuine person.  She will be missed, but I am truly glad that I had the opportunity to work with Doris, but most importantly I got to know a wonderful person.
My condolences to the family wishing you comfort and peace in this time of sadness.

To the Giunta Family.

On behalf of my Family I would like to express my condolences on your the passing of your Mum Doris. I knew Tommy as My Father, Brother and I met him  on our first trip to Fall River on vacation back in 1989. A lovely guy as I know your Mum was also.
My father is a retired Detective in the Irish Police Force (An Garda Siochana) in the Republic of Ireland.

You are in our thoughts at this time.

Regards.
Patrick,Mary, Adrian, Roy and Clare Cleary, Cork City and Limerick City Republic of Ireland.

So many memories I will cherish for the rest of my life.  I miss our dream team of fostering all the puppies especially the Von Trapp litter.  They kept us a n our toes especially bc that was when we kept having snow storm after snow storm.  The countless numbers of laughs and yes many tears also.  You picked me up when I was down always encouraged me but most of all you made me feel like I was not just a friend but your daughter. I will hold you in my heart forever until we meet again.  I love you.  Rest in the sweetest peace my forever angel.

Your a beautiful glowing angel mom. May you Rest In Peace .

This is a part of my job that is always difficult, but if I didn't do this job I wouldn't have gotten to know Doris and what an amazing sweet and caring person she was.  I always looked forward to seeing and talking with her.  I will miss my friend.

To The Giunta Family,
I Am Very Sorry To Hear About Doris's Passing And Even Though Tom Passed In 1994 She Always Spoke So Very Highly Of Her Late Husband And Missed Him Always.
She Also Spoke So Very Highly Of Her Family And She Was A Wonderful Person And Even Though I Only Met Her A Few Times For Tommys Annual Run And Walk Events She Was Right There With Us All For Tommys Memory.  
May The Sunshine Be In Her Face And The Wind At Her Back And May She Rest In Peace With The Lord..

Tina and family, We are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.

To the Giunta  family, our deepest sympathies on your loss. Doris was an outstanding woman who gave 100% to everything she did. May she Rest In Peace and her and Tom watch over you all.
