To the entire Pecht family,
My family and I wish you all the deepest of sympathy to you all on the passing of Doris. We were family friends and neighbors for years, and I thought of you all since we moved many years ago.
The last time I saw Doris back in 2004, she was so nice I reminded me of my own mother. Both her and her husband were wonderful people and will be missed by all those that knew them.
My God Bless her and hold close. She will be one of Gods special angles!

Though I didn't know my Aunt Doris well, I remember staying with her in Florida when I was four years old, on vacation with my Dad. She was so hospitable and kind, and certainly made an impression on four year old me. May she rest in peace, and may her family be consoled by precious memories.

To Gay and Family,
You have your mother's smile, Gay. Doris was a dear friend to my dad, when he walked "The Beat" as a young policeman at Northfield Center. Your mom always looked out for him, and on cold winter mornings, made sure he had a hot cup of coffee and a favorite crumb bun. Years later, she would work at Town Hall, and he'd see her there when duty called him "next door." Always a beautiful person, it was only fitting that she have such a beautiful daughter, married to my best friend's brother. ;-)
My thoughts are with you and your family, and I will always cherish the Kieran-Pecht Connection.
May memories bring you great comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
