I have only known Doris a couple of years, but she was always kind to me and my daughter. She treated us like family. As I went thru my divorce she kept telling me that even though things look bad now, they will get better. She was right. I wish I had known her longer. Love u

Aunt Doris she was a big part of my life when I was 16&17 I babysitted for her ,she thought I was doing her a favor but it was the other way around,she made me feel like family before I was.and was always there for me .when Jake died she was a just a phone call away love,Stormie

my mom was such a sweet caring woman i think the best thing she ever taught me was to never judge someone no matter what mom was always kind to everyone she accepted everyone she always treated our friends like family from the minute she met them. Thanks mom I love you.

I have so many things I could say about my mom. She was so much more than My mom she was my college study buddy even when I didnt want to study(thanks) my roommate when billie came along she was babysitter (granny) she was the one person I could always count on. my best friend.

I do not know Doris Higgins personally but I do know her son Gary and I have heard alot about her through Gary and my nephew David. She was a great lady and will be missed by all. You are in my prayers.

Mom would have loved today nice shady spot to watch the parade.. lots of family together tonight more family and fireworks mom would say couldnt get much better than this...she was always about family being together enjoying each other...Thanks for all the memories mom..

Whenever I look at our newly remodeled bathroom with the fish hanging, it reminds me of our shopping time at the Bagnall Dam Strip and the Artsy Fartsy store. I love the fish and the time that I did get to spend with Gary's family here at our lakehouse.

In 2007 Doris, Tonya (Daughter), Me Ryan(Godchild) and Keanu all went to South Dakota. We stayed at a hotel. Kea threw a water ball at Ryan. He got mad and they got into a fight. They almost got us kicked out of the hotel. Doris made them sit down and behave. She was so mad.

When I was a little girl, I used to get in so much trouble. She used to cut the balls off the pattle ball things and keep them as a paddle for me. When she would come after me, I would run into the corner.
