I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Doris was such a special lady and I just loved chatting with her. My fondest memory was taking a “quilt in a day” class with her many years ago which inspired my quilting hobby. I know she will be missed by all who knew her. Deepest sympathy.

Wow. What a ride that was.
What an incredible life we have lost.
It was my great pleasure to get to know Doris about 7 years ago. What a great lady.
I know how much she will be missed.
My the tremendous memories take some of the edge of what I know is an incredible pain.
But.. oh my, what a ride.
