Dear Ed, news of Doris disappearance came as a blow to us. We met both of you through our cousins Dagny and Claude and we instantly became part of your extended family. We enjoyed Doris lady-like manners and charm, and her ability to make us all feel important, especially during your visit to Panama. And that is when we discovered her love for ice cream and a good laughter. We are going to miss her. Her departure has impacted us more than we imagined.

Cousin Doris demonstrated unconditional love, compassion and grace during a very challenging time in my young life. She welcomed me into their home where I lived for awhile and was married there. She made my wedding dress, hat with veil, and decorated her home beautifully for the reception, I will never forget! I thank God for revealing His loving kindness and tender mercies through her. Doris will be a treasure held dear in my heart forever.

I remember many wonderful things about my cousin Doris. Her graceful demeanor, her steady resolve and her beauty all taught me that a woman’s power and influence is not in how loud she roars, but in how she cares for the people in the world around her.
I love you Doris and I will miss you dearly. Eddie, Karen, Suzanne and Stephen, I am praying that God will comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time.
Her memories will live on in those she loved🙏🏽♥️
My dear cousin,
What a loss! My heart aches as I struggle.to imagine a family gathering without you with Eddie by you side. However, what a blessing you were to our family, God certainly made you extra special with a contagious smile that brightened the space whenever you were present. Your beautiful spirit and caring nature will always be remembered. The memories you left with your family and those who love you so much can never be forgotten. I feel so blessed that you were a part of my life and I pray God will comfort your beautiful family at this time.
And as I hold my “thinking woman “ medallion next to my heart, I can’t recall one special occasion in my life, whether a birth, a holiday, a Sunday dinner, a christening, or a family reunion that didn’t feel complete until uncle Eddie and aunt Doris walked in the door.
They felt like Godparents to me and my sister Brenda, because only God could have put them in our path to step in for our parents, in love and commitment.
I will always remember Aunt Doris dancing with Uncle Eddie to bless our new home with their “ Happy dance”.
I love you Aunt Doris and your sweet, sweet spirit shall live in my heart always.
Love, your niece, Lolly

I remember when the Smith family moved to County Center Road.I was so happy to see a beautiful family with 3 children. At that point I didn’t realize that they would be family friends forever.Mr.and Mrs.Smith were like my second parents.I could talk to them about anything that was on my mind.I was so thankful to have them in my life and to grow up with them . Mrs Smith will be forever in my heart and I will cherish all the precious memories I have of her forever.
