Doris was such a special lady. I knew her from the Courts of Laurelwood. She made such an impact on people’s lives there. My mother Colleen Hofstetter shared many stories of Doris’ kindness and generosity. Thinking of your family at this time.

My deepest sympathies to Doris family. Doris was a member of our Well Fit Group at U of W and attended many of our monthly dinners. She had great suggestions for places to eat many of them were unique. We missed her when she stopped coming to our dinners. She was a wonderful woman, I'm glad I got to know her.

Seeding love and condolences to Doris' family. You have lost a very special lady! I met Doris on our Vienna trip in 2014. Such a warm, friendly, caring, person whose company I greatly enjoyed. After meeting Doris we occasionally went out to lunch or enjoyed a play at the St. Jacob' s Theatre followed by dinner at Jack's. RIP dear Doris.

It was our privilege to know Doris in recent years and to be included in the celebration a year ago. Her gift to Sanctuary will be recorded and honoured. The work that will be enabled because of her generosity will have far reaching effects on the lives of those who come to KW and seek healing, hope and well-being. Our small contribution to that gift comes with thanksgiving for Doris and a life well lived.

Our sincere condolences to Doris’ family and friends. We are truly saddened that such a warm and caring person has passed away. We met Doris a few years ago when our mother, Yvonne, came to the Court and have kept that connection since, even though Mom’s worsening health has taken her into nursing care. We are so thankful that this wonderful woman came into our lives and reached out with her friendship and support during a difficult time. Doris was such a special person. Her faith shone through in her caring acts and thoughtfulness, whether it was in conversation, phone calls, visits, or just quietly watercolour painting together.
We take comfort in knowing that Doris is continuing to be a source of kindness, hope and strength wherever her journey takes her. Gone but never forgotten, the warmth of her caring and spirit continues. She is just up ahead, lighting our way.

My sincere condolences to the Doris Gascho family.
I considered Doris a "saint". Whenever I met her she always had a warm smile and words of encouragement to give. I have had various connections with Doris over the years but most recently at Erb Street Mennonite Church. When I started working in the church office at Erb Street Doris told me that she hoped that I would stay working at Erb Street for a long time. This felt very welcoming and affirming and I cherish this memory.

We have known Doris for many years. Joyce was particularly proud of Doris when she became the first woman to be Conference Minister of Mennonite Church Eastern Canada. She helped advance women's organizational contributions in the Mennonite Church. In later years Joyce spent time visiting her and chatting with her on the telephone. She was such an upbeat person, so interesting and fun to chat with.
Our sympathy to Doris' family, Faye, Jennette, Chris and families.
Doris will be missed.

We met Doris at Erb St. Mennonite Church 6 years ago when we moved to Waterloo. Doris and Doreen bonded over a common interest in art and Doreen looked forward to the weekly art group Doris organized at Court at Laurelwood Retirement community. Doris gradually lost independence during the time we knew her but her positive attitude, resilience and grace allowed her to leave the past behind and embrace the present. Even as Covid restricted and isolated her she still considered these "the golden years".
We enjoyed our time together in the car to and from church, dinners ar Laurelwood, ice cream at Dairy Queen, and conversations along the way. We developed a special friendship. She was so appreciative. We will miss her beautiful smile, her cheerful greeting, her sense of humor, and her wisdom.
Our heartfelt sympathy to Fay, Jennie, Chris and their families. She talked proudly and fondly of you. You were deeply loved.
We are blessed to know Doris and we treasure the memories. We grieve her loss with you.

My deepest condolences to the family of Doris. I first grew to appreciate her many gifts through membership at Erb
Street Mennonite Church, then later on a personal level. I was invited to share many dinners at her condo followed by warm and comforting conversations...some of those memories still linger today. Was there ever a warmer, gentle, and caring Godly woman, who modeled Christian values as did Doris? - Not to my knowledge anyway! Her sense of humour was enchanting too; we shared many laughs when I was invited over to help resolve one computer glitch or another, in our battle of humanity vs. technology. :-)
Jen, may you and your entire family know the Lord's peace and comfort at this time of loss, but know too that there's so many admirers of your mom who join in the celebration and honour of having known and appreciated the light and grace that she brought to this temporary world. R.I.P. Doris in your eternal, heavenly home!
Shalom.

We wish to express our sincere sympathy for your loss of Doris. Our paths with Doris passed in many ways over the years. We were at First Mennonite together and then at Erb St Mennonite Church. Jim had a special relationship with Ivan and kept this up with Doris. Jim will miss her hugs. Sue was glad to get to know Doris more with the Senior group at Erb St that she facilitated. We will miss her beautiful smile and quiet ways. She will always hold a special place in our heart. We wish you..."friends to comfort you, memories to strengthen you, love to bring you peace" This was the card that Doris sent us when Dorothy passed away in January. We thought you would find comfort in her words at this time of sorrow.
