To Deryck and family, our deepest condolences on the passing of Doris. She will be missed as she was one of a kind lady. Always looking to help her neighbours and nothing was ever a problem to her. She was a very wise and lovable person. Her star is shining bright on us.

To Deryck & Family.
The sudden loss of a wonderful person & friend is always a blow to the rest of us.Doris was a very vibrant and loving person who will be missed by all of her friends. Knowing that she is now in a better place is very comforting. She more than likely has found new friends to start a Euchre game.
On behalf of myself & the Caledon East Seniors, we offer our deepest sympathies to all the Family members.

Dearest Deryck and Family
We are so very sad to hear of Doris’ passing.
There was no brighter smile at our Tuesday Valleywood Euchre Luncheon than that of our dearest Doris. Always happy and so very full of life, her beautiful face will not be forgotten. Personally, I had immense admiration for Doris: as a person, as a darn sharp card player and as someone who found humour in the life she lived so well.
Many reasons to miss her so much.
From all of us at Valleywood, rest in peace Doris.

Deryck, Richard, Anne and the Dodwell families, My thoughts are with you during this profoundly sad time. I will always remember Doris for her warm smile.
