Doris was a wonderful nurse to both of my parents from Rose City. With her gentle hands of God. And the love of truly caring for their medical needs. She will receive a crown for her service to the weak. Condolences to all the family. Marshall/ Alviar Family

Sending my condolences to the family. One of my most fondest memories of Doris was when Aaron was a senior in HS and for PJG she sold a TON of poinsettia's. My room was lined with them. I have a ton more memories of this FINE lady I could go on and on, but this 1 sticks strongly on my mind. I love her, and she was the most loyal nurse to Texas Home Health that I know of, never heard her complain about anything. She was always willing to go above and beyond for her patient's, and Texas Home Health.
