Tributes

Leave a tribute
  1. Heartfelt sympathy to all Doris's family. A strong and devoted woman fully committed to anything she was involved in. During the 60's, 70's and 80's Doris and I spent a lot of time together and travelled many kilometres in our work for the Anglican church. They were days when we shared so much with each other and I treasure all the wonderful memories. Your work on earth is done Doris. Rest in the peace of Christ. Jean Tann
