I am neighbors with the Bennett’s since we landed in the neighborhood they have always been a constant warm & welcoming presence to myself & my family.  I love hearing about their travels & saying I’m going to be like the Bennetts when I grow up & travel the world. 

We were even invited to dinner to their home one time. Mrs. Bennett went out of her way to make sure my vegan accommodations were met. I truly appreciate that. 

Whenever I would see the Bennett’s outside walking, doing yard work or coming home they always took the time to stop & say hello & ask me how everyone is doing. They were a gentle reminder that kindness is alive & well. 

I will miss Mrs. Bennett dearly. I’m sure she’s in heaven planning a vacation to another part of heaven 😂. Mr. Bennett I am praying for your strength, your healing & sending light & love to your family. I love you guys! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world. 

Geliebte Schwester. So musstest Du nun gehen. Ohne Adieu, ohne Händedruck, ohne ein Lächeln, ohne eine Umarmung, ohne ein Wort der Liebe. Einfach so. Stille, …..Dunkelheit, umfängt mich. Alles was ich tue, sehe, denke, empfinde, ist ….dunkel. Warum,……warum nur musstest Du gehen. Mutti hat Dich immer gebeten auf mich aufzupassen, Deinen kleinen Bruder. Nun bin ich allein. Du warst mein Hort, meine Heimat, der Teddybär dem man seine Sorgen und Nöte anvertraut hat. Du warst meine Burg. Nun bist Du nicht mehr da. Es fühlt sich an als ob mit Dir auch ein Teil von mir gestorben ist. Mit dem Gedanken daran dass Du mir nie wieder antworten kannst fällt mir schwer zu leben. Und doch muss ich es akzeptieren. Was bleibt ist letztlich die Erinnerung an unser gemeinsames Leben die sich in meinem Herzen und in meiner Seele unauslöschlich eingebrannt hat. In mir wirst Du für immer weiter an meiner Seite sein und mich auf meinem Weg begleiten. Die Liebe die uns verbunden hat kann auch der Tod nicht beenden und so werde ich Dich immer in meinem Herzen tragen bis auch irgendwann mein Weg zu Ende geht.

My husband and I met Doris on a recent trip to Costa Rica.  As her obituary says, "everywhere she went people just gravitated to her and loved her."  Us included. While we didn't know her long, we are grateful that we had the opportunity, as many others have, to meet and grow to love her.  This was my first trip since a bike accident landed me in a trauma unit a year ago, and Doris (14 years my senior), who was obviously in great shape from all her time exercising at the "senior center," went out of her way to help me up and down slopes on hiking trails.  Her natural curiosity and zest for life led her to take photos everywhere we went.  We shared many great meals--she especially enjoyed El Avion, a CIA Iran/Contra Cargo plane converted into a restaurant.  We spent hours talking in the pool about her children and grandchildren and it was crystal clear that she could not have loved them (and Herb) more.  She had such a warm smile, infectious laugh, and generous spirit.  We send our deepest condolences to the family.  Doris will be sorely missed by so many. 

I have such fond memories of your mom. Her smile and youthful energy lit up a room. So very sorry for your loss. Sending deep love and heartfelt condolences to you all. Gina Cascio

Doris was a friend.  I have a hard time accepting that she is gone.  I was hopeing  she would come she would come and visit us this year.
Doris and Herb spent many hours with us and their many friends in our store.  We were a real click for Armani.
May the Lord rest her in peace.
Ben and Margareta

My name is Frank Maskovich and I was the Deputy Administrator for Caltrans in Marysville and had the pleasure of working with Doris for many years.  She was a very hard worker with high standards but what those of us that worked with her remember most was her positive attitude and wonderful smile.  Doris will be missed by many.

I met Doris through my job.  Doris led the cleaning crew at CalTrans in Marysville, CA.  I always referred to her, in my head, as the "Energizer Rabbit ".   Doris would come into my office and we would start visiting.  She would constantly be moving, dusting everything in my office and while we visited and kept one another up to date.  She never ceased to amaze me.  We socialized  with our husbands.  she loved her husband and family, near and far.  When Doris and Herb moved to Texas she would call me after she had been to the gym and we would chatter  while I could hear her washing dishes while we caught up.  She loved to travel and was a dear friend who will be forever missed.  Amazing woman. Love, Susan and Jon

Dear Bennett Family,
I so enjoyed getting to know Doris over the years. She was such a smart and beautiful woman. She had so much love for her family.
May all your wonderful memories of your mom, wife, and grandmother remain in your heart always.
in faith, Janie Nickel
