Words fail me in expressing how sad I am at the passing of Ms. Smith, Aunty, Aunt Doris. She was a faithful member of the North Street United Church in Kingston, Jamaica. Many young persons like myself grew up under her care and guidance. There was never an empty stomach, once Aunty was around, she was such a loving, kind, caring individual who always looked out for the interest of everyone. Though she left us in Jamaica for Canada, she was always spoken of in high regard. She will truly be missed. May her soul rest in peace. - Posted by: Mark Jonas () on: Mar 06, 2013

When Birdie called and told me about Aunt Dor's passing I could not believe it. It is difficult to put in to words the sadness I am feeling. Aunt Dor was a mother to me, a mother to my children, and a mother to my grandchildren. The kindest and most loving relative one could ask for and for that I will be eternally grateful. Birdie, I am sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences. The passing is unbearable but the memories of your Mom are sweet and shall never fade away. She will lovingly be remembered as Aunt Dor or Auntie - Posted by: Daisy Rhoden (Niece) on: Mar 01, 2013

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest criticism and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty and find the best in others; to leave this world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded....Emerson And she did. Walk Good Aunt Dor - Posted by: Blossom, Anne, Roger, Melyssande and Jacob () on: Feb 28, 2013

Affectionately called Aunti or Aunt Dor for all my life. A great woman, a mother to many, a giver, there are many things that stand out in my mind about aunty, but one thing I can remember, while as a child living in Clarendon my mom Daisy would go to Kingston where Aunt Dor lives, and she would be back home on a Sunday with a big pot of rice and peas and chicken, plus other food stuff we would look forward for that. A very kindhearted lady, there is so much that can be said about this stalwart Aunt Dor your legacy lives on, sleep on and take your rest, you have fought a good fight and you have finished your course, rest in peace aunty. - Posted by: Coleen Johnson-Brown (Grand-neice) on: Feb 28, 2013
