Grandma, you were my world. I don't know why you had to leave me. I am glad your not suffering no more, but wish I had more time. You left so fast I am glad I saw you last weekend and said I love you and hugged you. You raised me and you are my rock, my world, my best friend, my mom figure and my grandma. I am glad your with grandpa now give him my love too. I will miss you more than anything. I love you with all my heart and soul. I hope I can make this life with out you. Love you so much!

I see included in her obituary, is appreciation for Good Samaritan Society - Lodi. Good Sam needs to be reaching to say, "Thank you, Doreen!" as a loyal friend to so many. She spent years coming over after church or during patriotic holidays and visited with each person she knew. She was one loyal, dedicated, gracious, friendly, sensitive, funny, uplifting, caring and giving person. We were blessed to call her our friend. Not to mention all the extra sewing projects! Heartfelt sympathy to her wonderful family.

I could always count on Doreen and the Barrow family growing up in the neighborhood. Doreen is the one who took my bottle away! I'll never forget camping with everyone and waterskiing for the first time. My mom and Doreen were lifelong friends and she was like our second mother. A lady that said it like it was! Peace to the family. I'll miss Doreen right along with missing my Mom. Here's a Teddy Bear since my Mom collected them and she would have posted it.
