    We met Doris in 2015 when we moved in Leland, NC. Whenever we visited Cy and Pat at their house, Doris was present there with her charming personality. We chatted and joked with her and she always responded with confidence. We attended her 90th birthday and were happy to see her with her sons and their families. She lived a good and productive life. May she live in peace in her eternal life! We share our sorrows with our friend Cy and hope he seeks comfort from his faith. Our condolences to all other family members. Naseem & Farzana Khan
