I worked with Doris at Highway Patrol. She was a wonderful person. RIP Doris. Enjoy your life in heaven.
I worked with Doris too, I am so shocked to lose my friend. I would try to call her but she never answered. She was a wonderful person, spent lots of lunches with her.
Sweet Doris, you were a wonderful neighbor and a lovely person. I will miss your smiling face and look forward to seeing you again one day in Heaven. Rest in eternal peace, dear friend.
