My condolences to the family. Please be comforted by the Bible’s promise of the resurrection. John 5:28,29, Acts 24:15

I am so sorry on the loss of this very special Lady. I have many fond memories of Doreen, especially all the laughs we had when I worked for her. She was the sweetest, most kindest wonderful lady ever.
I will treasure memories forever.
I love you Doreen, you will be so missed!
