To the Hudson Family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Doris. I have known Doris for all of my life, and I feel truly fortunate to have had that privilege. She was a kind and wonderful person whose life touched so many.
The love she shared is reflected in the large, close-knit family she leaves behind. I hope you find comfort in the countless memories you shared together and in the love and support of one another during this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May God grant you peace, strength, and comfort in the days ahead.
I am beyond blessed to be considered the 5th daughter according to Doris. She and Paul gave me a place to land growing up as a kid when I didn’t really have a home due to my mothers illness and death. The positive examples she consistently displayed gave me the stability and the love I needed at a critical time growing up. I always felt welcomed and part of the family. I can’t imagine what my life may have turned out to be without her influence. So in closing sweet Doris Jean you served us all well. Love you forever.
