Rick, Brenda and family: My condolences to all of you. I don’t think I will ever have the privilege to meet another Lady quite like Doris. Ever. Her spark, sass, humour and smile lit up the office each and every time she came to visit. I especially loved hearing her share memories of family and friends that would put a sparkle in her eye and sometimes a tear too. She loved her family. Bragged often. I know she was ready for her reunion as she wasn’t shy to tell me on our last few visits together. I’m happy for her that she is happy now. Sad for the rest she has left behind. Bless you Doris. Thanks for the sass, jokes, history lessons but most of all, your friendship. Debi <3

MY condolences to the family: You were so fortunate to have such a feeling person to guide you.
Doris was one of a kind. I admired her feistiness humour, sharpness of mind and the best euchre player (which we enjoyed at the Caledon Senior’s Centre). She was an inspiration to many, getting up in age, and if you had a problem, just the thought of Doris would make you get on with your life and think you have many years ahead.
God Bless You Doris. You deserve a rest.

I knew her as a young girl and friend to Sandra she was a doting
Mom and I loved visiting for dinner. A long dining room table
so nicely done on a Sunday and I loved going there. Also saw
my first TV there and a lot of skiing on the rink in the back yard.
Yes Sandra and I enjoyed our youth.
Deep regret, Dorothy Ireland
