Condolences
The family of Doris Elaine Hanson has received the following condolences.
We did not know Doris for very long, but the love she had around her was amazing! She had so many people who cared so deeply for her and she was a very lucky lady. With a family like hers, she must have been a wonderful person and mother. From all of us at Moore Elderly Care we are truly sorry for your loss and thinking of you guys.
Doris was a very beautiful person, not just on the outside but the inside. Her spirit touched our hearts and souls. From the day my mom (Marilyn) and Tammy started taking care of Doris we as a family grew very close to her; not only my moms kids but her grandkids as well. We all loved her so much and we all seen each step of Doris's disease but still loved her the same and she always had some way of letting us know she appreciated it and loved us back. Taking care of Doris was not just my mom and Tammy's job they gave her unconditional love, support, and the best care anyone could ask for and they gave up things in their own lives to be there for Doris. There were tough times and wonderful spiritual times that we will always remember and hold dear to our hearts. I thank the family for the opportunity to know and to love Doris.
Doris was the most courageous, strong, brave, encouraging, inspiring woman i have ever has then pleasure of knowing. She touched so many lives, and will be missed by many.
What a beautiful lady. Gods blessings to the family.
