  8. To Doris’s family,
    I used to be neighbors years ago with Doris on Ridgeview Road in Leicester. It had been years since I had seen Doris. She was always so sweet & so nice. I just saw her orbit this morning. You all have my condolences. Wish I could be there but I currently have a pinched nerve & not very mobile. Again my sympathy to Doris’s family.

I also have so many memories growing up with her family, and I’ll always be thankful for that. She was truly one of the good ones, and I know she will be missed by so many. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

  14. doris and i met when she became my mothers caretaker. we hit it off instantly as i knew immediately that she was “the one” . she indeed cared for my mothers like her own. i never had a moment that i didn’t know that she was being 110% loved on and cared for. i’m sure her family is going to miss this shining star. may you all have amazing memories that will comfort you as you go on without her.
