It never fails to amaze me who God places in our paths in this short lifetime. The first thing that comes to mind is how Jesus came to serve, not to be served. This is how I see and remember Doris: she served so many for so many years. She sacrificed her own life dreams and her family's comfort to give to others. Doris gave of herself, her time, and her energy unselfishly so that others would grow and succeed. She continuously instilled in us to strive to be the best we could be. Doris made every single person feel special, important, and irreplaceable. She brought out the best in everyone and never judged anyone. Doris was filled with enthusiasm and endless energy. She was gifted with wonderful talents in dance, art, music, design, choreography, and writing. She could have been a New York City Radio City Rockette! One of Doris' many gifts included being a mentor not only of the arts, but of life. Doris managed to not only teach me to dance but also to be dependable, have confidence, to be compassionate, to persevere, and to be myself. She has had a great impact on my life...Doris will always be remembered as a humble servant to all those who were blessed to be in her path. Love, The Many Faces of Marcella
