• When we heard that Doreen passed, we remembered how warm she was to us when we first were in Winnipeg. She was so welcoming to us as Brent’s friends and she always had an open door policy. She loved to laugh and was so proud of Brent. We will miss her but he will lose his Mom and his lifelong supporter. No one can take the place of “Mom” but Brent will have her watching him and his family and smiling… forever. - Posted by: Bruce and Audrey Bain (Friends ) on: Dec 18, 2022

• Doreen and her husband Ron were lifelong friends of my parents Wilbert and Eleanor Melvin. Dad and Ron were buddies but mum and Doreen were close. Christmas Eve parties at our house were where they caught up on the years latest news and events dressed beautifully, laughing and sometimes crying. I adored her beauty and poise and her laugh. They were good friends and I will always remember that. - Posted by: Noraleen Loewen (Friends of the family) on: Dec 18, 2022
