I was surprised to read of your Mom's passing. I do have a funny memory. Edith made a date with your Mom to get her ears pierced, with a cube of ice and a darning needle. I tagged along, for some unknown reason and succumbed to having mine done also, your Mom must have had a set of sleepers. Well a few days later my pastor arrived home and asked me to return to Beulah Camp to help in the kitchen which was short staffed. Mom informed me the sleepers had to come out as ear rings were not permitted at Family Camp. So out they came and I was off to Beulah for the first time. I never got my ears pierced again.
God Bless as you each travel this mile of the road of Life.
Blessings

GWEN, NANCY, GAIL AND FAMILIES,
SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR MUM'S PASSING. I SURE ENJOYED OUR LITTLE VISITS WHEN WE WOULD MEET IN THE RESTAURANTS, WHICH WAS SEVERAL TIMES (L.O.L). SHE WAS ALWAYS SO PLEASED TO HEAR MY VOICE. SHE HAD A LONG LIFE AND NOW SHE WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE WITH OUR LORD. MAY GOD BLESS AND COMFORT YOU ALL IN THE DAYS TO COME.

Dear Gwen, Nancy and Gail : I was surprised to hear of your mother passing. I believed she would live 'forever'....and on reflection, I know she will. She was a proud lady. Proud of her home....proud of her children....and all of their children ! She will long be remembered for her acts of kindness and joy of Life. May only happy memories sustain you in the days ahead.

Dear Gwen, Nancy, and Gail, I was saddened to hear of your mom's passing.
She certainly lived a long life, and had a notable influence wherever she made
herself a home and/or served her country.. Recently she celebrated a remarkable
100 years, and so many people sent greetings. Now she is at peace. Praying for
you and trusting the Lord to give you comfort in the days ahead.

I would like to think her and mom are having a tea/party/gossip session. RIP Dodo. Condolences to all the remaining family members. May her memory surround you with the warmth of her loving personality. Blessings.
It was always good to visit with Doris in her home and get to know her, very glad that she was a part of the Church Family at North Head Baptist... Sympathies are extended to all of her family and friends at this time - God's blessings to you all, Rev. David and Susan Phillips
Gwen, Nancy, Gail and families:
Deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother, grandmother and sister. Doris was a great lady, I have many great memories of going to her home over the years. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
don't know where to begin this lady has brought so much joy and fun into my life over the yrs..we shared many laughs and some tears ..she was always up to date with the events of the world War famine floods storms whatever was going on she knew about it ..I gained 40 lbs working with her all the trips to the restaurants lol some times twice a day. She loved everyone especially children and dogs she will be greatly missed RIP my family and I miss you so much ..I remember one morning I went in for my morning shift and she had 25 cardboard boxes packed to give to the families who lost everything in the fort mac Murray fire ..she had the biggest heart always helping those in need ..I will never forget Doris and the love that she and her family showed to me over the years thank you Nancy Gail and Gwenny for sharing your mom with me I'll never forget you all
My thoughts and prayers are with all the family of Doris Griffin. She was a good neighbour and always welcomed you with open arms. Doris loved to get out and socialize, go for lunch and was always ready to help someone when the need arose. She will certainly by missed by her family and all who knew her. Keeping you all in my prayers at this time.
Am so very sorry to hear of Doris’s passing. She lived a long and full life and I can remember when I was a child on Grand Manan the Griffin home was a gathering spot for the kids and Doris seemed to be a big part of activities there. To paraphrase a term my mom always used…she was “as cute as a bugs ear “ when it came to activities for the kids. She always seemed to be doing laundry and the house always smelled delicious.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Doris’s family. To Gwen, Nancy and Gail she is with Rupert now and smiling down on all of you.
Fly with the angels Doris…may you Rest In Peace.
Many hugs and much love to all, Wanda MacDonnell ( Cowie )
Only good memories of your mother, Gwynn, Nancy, and Gail. My wife Melody and I would like to extend our prayers and condolences to you at this most difficult of occasions. Psalm 91
We are saddened to hear of Doris’ passing. We (Josh, Tavia, Cayna (16), Saida (9) Cheney) met Doris around 10 years ago when we rented the ‘Blue Lobster’ cottage/house beside her on the old airport road. Each subsequent summer visit to the island we’d be sure to stop by for a visit or 2 or 3 throughout the week. She’d tell all manner of stories—some serious, some ridiculous…like Teddy the dog who loved a parade (and she’d proceed to mimic for us the smile Teddy had on his face, which added a Doris flavour to the story). We admired her zest for life and persistence to obtaining her goals—to walk, to stay limber, to see, to remain positive in the face of struggle. She left her mark on our family. My girls experienced being cared for and a witness to a strong mindset, enjoyment for people and the simple things like an annual summer visit. She ‘d collect candy all year in anticipation of our daughters’ visit. She got a kick out of ‘Chewie’, our 10 lb ‘morkie-poo’ dog. He’d curiously explore her kitchen and come back and inevitably get picked up by Doris for a good squeeze and kiss. Doris has left us with fond memories, and more importantly, a reminder of the importance of getting to know your neighbours. We’ll miss you Doris.
Oh I just want to say that Doris introduced me to Mrs. Browns boys . We would watch it and just laugh and laugh. I always saw Doris with a big smile on but watching that show wow she just loved it and she would tell me. Wait, wait just wait till you see this. I have never seen that show ever. She had the whole series on dvd so we could pause and hang her clothes or go to the bathroom before we would pee our pants lol. Redwing was the best button if it was a really funny scene. Doris they just don’t make people like you anymore. You touched so many lives. I will miss you thank you for all the freebies and cold drinks when I was mowing your lawn. I will really miss you. To her daughters it doesn’t matter what age our Moms are when they pass it’s a very difficult time . I will be thinking of you in the next few days
