Doris deeply affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world with her widely influential More-with-Less Cookbook. Living More with Less is her last gift to the church, the poor, and the Lord she served. May its powerful message stir us all to walk further along the path she carefully charted and joyfully trod.
