I am sad to learn of the passing of one of my PEO’s moms. Doris assisted me when I was a student at Florida Institute of Technology once her chapter identified that I was close by. I am so so grateful for the numerous meals she fed me, she took me shopping for winter attire when I was moving up north for my internship and was always available for a phone call while I was in the Midwest. I am really sorry I lost contact some years before relocating back to Africa. I used the wrong spelling to try to google. She was a great being amongst us. Love you Doris. May Jesus keep you well … you definitely have a mansion in heaven.

We were extremely blessed to have Aunt Doris as our Aunt. What a wonderful person she was, and still is. Always willing help and give wise advice. You could always count on her to be there for you when you were at your lowest.
She is already greatly missed! However, we know where she is, and we look forward to seeing her again in eternity.
Much love,
James, Sue & Chris ♥️
