Our charming soul has gone to be with the Lord. I first met Doreen in 2011 as a newcomer at @nbstv & she disarmed me with her warmth. Over the years, we shared our title as historicals. You leave an indelible mark gal! Mukama akugumye @KKariisa & the @nextmediaug family. pic.twitter.com/5MflFpBxz7

Ohh Doreen you have really gone too soon.
I will miss our banter along the stairs, and although newsroom stole me as you always said, I will always remain of Next production.
May you rest in peace my boss.
Till we meet again @Dorynkatusiime
