Hello friends and family, we are hoping that this reaches you in love. We are extending our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love that has been shown to my Mother, Doris Anne Sullivan or Mamma D. She was a Mom, a Nanna, a partner, a mentor, a guiding light, a warm hug, a listening ear, a pocket of sunshine, and the purest form of gratitude, grace, and joy. If you have ever met Doris, you already know this to be true and can most likely add to that list. We cannot put into words how loved she is and how much she will be missed.

We would like to send her off with love, respect, dignity, grace, and honor-which is the way she lived and treated all of us while here on earth. We would also like to be able to gather with all of you and create a loving space to pay our final respects.

We have chosen to create this GoFundMe to give Doris’s friends and family an opportunity to contribute to her Celebration of Life as well as her final arrangements.

We appreciate any and every monetary gift, flowers, love, and warm wishes that have been sent.

We understand that you all are grieving just as we are. We look forward to seeing you in celebration of my Mom’s life and of all of the love and joy that she brought into our lives. Event details will be communicated at a later date as we are still in the planning phase.

Thank you. We love and appreciate all of you.
