On November 14,1997 tribute was paid to the life of Doris Moses at the North Head, Grand Manan, Wesleyan Church. The service began with a moment of silent meditation during the organ prelude, " The Lord Is My Shepherd", played by Rhonda Stanley. Grandson, Peter Nixon, read the poem, " A Beautiful Smile", which had been found in Doris's Bible.
A very appropriate eulogy was given by Donna's co-worker and close friend, Leta Underhill. She also read comforting scriptural passages selected by Alice Harvey, Doris's niece, living in Ontario. Leta closed by leading the congregation in the recitation of Psalm 23.
Prayer and devotion were given by Reverend Gary Campbell. This was followed by Sheila Wilson, a niece, singing one of her aunt's favourite songs, " This Is What Heaven Means To Me". Andrea Morse, also a niece, rendered closing prayer and farewell to her aunt.
