Doris taught in the room next to me at Lawton Middle School. It was my first year there, and Doris took me under her wing and made sure that I felt welcome and included. She always had a word of encouragement when needed or advice when asked. I will forever be grateful to her for that. My sympathies to all of her family and friends.
