I remember Doris as a tremendous role model for any young woman. She was devoted to her family,and in the nicest possible way, a force to be reckoned with. She was a leader, a businesswoman, successful precisely because of her principles and her commitment to being the best and giving her clients the best. She was a big personality - warmhearted, forthcoming, genuine. And when Dave was lying in hospital, between life and death after the accident when he broke his neck, her big personality and devotion simply demanded that he come back to her, and he did. She thought the nurses would think she was crazy, telling this unconscious man in no uncertain terms that he was needed, his presence was required....he told her afterwards that all he had been aware of was her voice...
It is a comfort that her death, in her home, surrounded by her family, was just as she had wished. In their grief and loss, they know they did all they could for her.
