Our involvement with Doris over the years was an enjoyable experience. We enjoyed Doris's visits (also, Betty's) when she came in for her defibrillator check up. She had a positive attitude and certainly enriched our day. Our thoughts are with her family at this time.
Dr. Ellenbogen and all the MCVHS staff.

I took care of Doris for many years when she would come to clinic. I am one of Dr. Ellenbogen's nurses. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I wanted Doris's family to know her cheerful disposition over the years was a delight. She will be missed.

Dear Doris,
I wish I had spent more time with you and gotten to know you better. Maybe then I would know where your son Steve had gotten his wonderful sense of humor from. I wish your family peace and serenity. I know a mother's love can never be replaced and will be sorely missed.
Love,
Paula
