Very sorry on your loved one’s passing . I met Doris when my Mom , Phyllis Huff , was in the Vulcan Peter Dawson Lodge . When Mom and I would go back to her room we always passed Doris at the jigsaw puzzle table , stopped and had some chit chat and maybe even helped Doris with a jigsaw piece or two . Doris was a nice friendly lady . What I remember was her warmth and smile , interested in what you had to say . Unfortunate she didn’t reach her longed for 100th birthday , yet she came so close and may she celebrate in Heaven . My sincere condolences to the family .
Sincere condolences to Doris’ family and extended families.

Really sorry to hear about Doris. She was one of my favorite clients. I loved going up to see her and when my mom moved into the Lodge I could count on seeing Doris at the puzzle table. Such a sweet lady.
Our sincere sympathy to Doris’s family. She was a very kind, warm, and cheerful lady who always had time for a nice visit.
