My sincere condolences to all of Doris's family. It was only recently that I connected with Doris, but in that short time it was obvious that Doris was extremely family oriented. I will miss her and her very informative letters.
Rest Peacefully Doris

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
