In Loving memory of Doris Bergmnan

I was devastated to have discovered that my good friend Doris Bergman had perished in an incendiary consuming fire along with her husband, Albert, and their pet cat. Their Mar Vista house was utterly ablaze from a fire rumored to have started from the kitchen. I had last spoken to her only over the previous weekend. Her departure was a sober reminder of the evanescent fragility of our human existence and how we are here for only a whisper of time.

I am completely saddened by this loss as Doris and I had gotten to be close friends with great camaraderie during the COVID lockdown, and we had a good mental rapport and an intellectual bond. I will greatly miss her on so many levels—her great sardonic wit, her intelligence, her generosity of spirit, and her wicked sense of dark, black humor. Rest in peace, dear Doris and Albert. I honor you for the great magnanimous human beings that you were. Continue on in your soul’s journey towards everlasting Light. You will be missed beyond measure and never forgotten. With Love Forever,

Doris and her wonderful husband, Albert, is such a terrible tragedy. Doris was the creative genius behind so many fantastic events that celebrated Hollywood celebrities and popular brands while giving back to charity. In particular, Doris took great pride in knowing that her efforts on behalf of the charity Wednesday’s Child helped to bring attention and action to adopting children in the foster care system. Albert equally took great pride in serving his many clients as a well-respected Los Angeles attorney.

I will never forget Doris’s soft heart that sometimes took a few minutes to discover while hidden behind her fire engine red hair and gruff voice. However, once Doris called you her “friend,” the magic and beauty of knowing her began. I will miss her countless phone calls where she would belt out a Broadway show tune or tell me about a classic tv re-run she had just watched. She was one of the most colorful people you will ever meet, and the saying, “When God made her, he threw out the mold,” holds more true for Doris than for anyone I have ever met in my lifetime. Doris and Albert will never be forgotten. Although their story had a tragic ending, their time on this Earth was well spent. I feel blessed and honored to have been a part of their lives. I now rest easy knowing they are at peace, and I look forward to seeing them on the other side.

Doris was the most incredible human being I had ever met, full of kindness, compliments, and giving. I’ll miss her since I was always her Queen whenever she used to call me, sometimes I’ll never hear again from her she was my best friend. She always is in my heart, and I know she’s watching over us with her big smile.
