Dora always made me laugh. She would say "Nancy, I don't need to finish my sentences because you always know what I'm going to say."
I will never forget the fabulous Mexican birthday meals she made me each year. She was the caretaker of everyone she came to know. The world is a little less bright without her here. I will miss her.
