Everyone that was touched by Doris, even for just a moment was a better person.... because.. Doris was "REAL" real in the sense of that she did not give lip service ..... She was polite but to the point if you asked.. and yes even maybe sometimes if one did not. ...... That is the true meaning of being "REAL".. Most of us are not even close to that real..... I am happy and blessed to have met her ,. . I know I am a better person for it., as are so many others i am sure of......My heart and those of mine are in thought and prayer for all of us that were and will be touched by her in the future... This life here is only temporary.. but in heaven we will one day be reunited together with God. God promised us we would if we follow his word... In the time between... may all of us that were touched by Doris either in family ,friends or just a moment, find strength in God, and may he bring us peace.....

With deepest sympathy to the Cooper family. I lost my dear mother about 3 yrs ago at the age of 89 and miss her dearly. The hope that has sustained me is what is found at Job 33:25 when my mom and Doris and all those who are suffering the infirmities of old age will return the days of their youthful vigor. Our loving Creator will restore the earth back to the original purpose of a paradisaic earth where old age, sickness will be no more - Isaiah 33:24.
