" It was with GREAT sadness to learn of the death of such a wonderful woman and friend. Doreen was such a bright light, we met when she first came to the VI Center in the Pentagon. She was a friend to everyone who crossed her path and will be missed by many many people. My prayers go out to all of her family members for they will suffer the most at loosing such a beautiful person. "
