"She always had a smile on her face and kind words from her heart. I remember plenty of times visiting and playing in the basement with Crystal and Justin. Doris had to walk us down the stairs several times because there was always that one creepy corner down there at the bottom of the stairs. When I think of Doris and Stan I will always think of ping pong in the basement, sharing food together, and those western style swinging doors in the kitchen. They both will be missed but will remain forever in my thoughts and heart."

"We said our goodbye to our Earthly Doris. We will miss her earthly arms that comforted us. Now we say hello to our Heavenly Doris. Now she can comfort us with her Heavenly arms. She will put her hands on our face and cuddle us with her arms. She is thought of daily. We will miss her, but we know she is with us. Now I can tell Carolyn that Aunt Doris is there with her and that she can help Carolyn to find her way to our Heavenly Father. That gives Carolyn a lot of comfort. It also hepls me to know that she can guide her. With all our Love and sorrow, we give you our prayers. Love, Carolyn & Marilyn"
