Past Matron Doris was truly a Diva and class act in every sense of the word. The way she strutted into the room in her stilettos captivating the audience let you know she had arrived. She had an inner glow and sweet demeanor to match her outer beauty. She was full of wisdom even when exchanging witty or funny stories. PM Doris was a true Gem in every sense of the word. The mark she left with us is invaluable and will always be cherished.
My prayers are with all whom she had the pleasure of gracing with her wonderful presence, especially her her beloved husband and daughter.
With Love,
Tiffany Choice

Knowing Doris' daughter Renee for over 40 years, I can only assume that Doris was a kind, nurturing, and strong woman to have given the world a daughter like Renee. Renee, I love you and wish you peace and serenity in recalling the life and memories of your mother. May your thoughts of her be a blessing to you and Darnae. XO

Lord of all power and might, all thy works do praise thee. We give thanks unto Thee for Thy great love and do commend the spirit of our departed Sister to thy keeping, that in the final judgement she may stand before Thee in glory. Until then, beloved rest in peace. In sorrow and love, Marsha Mack Grand Conductress Ashlar Chapter No. 71 OES, PHA NY

Uncle Ike and Renae 💕 This pandemic has ripped us of a natural and historical process of celebrating our loved ones as they transition to eternal rest. Praying for the opportunity to fellowship with my family again.

To the Reid Family & Friends Although, you weren't ready to see her leave you so unannounced; unplanned. I pray you understand God felt it was time to extend out his hand for her to take, when he called her by name. She didn't want to leave you but she was at peace and wants you to know every-time you think of her, she'll be right there in your memories and forever in your hearts. Love you family, Ms Carol Clark
