Dear Marsha and Shelley,

I was so sad to hear of Doris’ passing. I too add my voice to the honour roll of your mother’s life of service.  While I first met Doris in Chicago it wasn’t till our paths crossed in India that I really encountered the ‘greatness’ in both your mom and dad.

I remember Charles, in a meeting in India very clearly articulating the tension between our financially constrained circumstances and our sense of responsibility, when he said “the ICA always honours our obligations.. we may just not do it in the timeframes expected of us”. I joined the “LENS” team in India when Doris was leading it, and among the many things I learned from her was that profound care for a client is also exhibited in the details. Her comment to a colleague then about the state of the polish on his shoes has me looking down at my shoes every time I stand in front of a group. I celebrate a great life lived.

Kevin
