I think of Dori and all of you everyday. I pray God is giving you strength to carry on and providing laughter and happiness of her memories to offset some of the pain of missing her so much. Dori was so sweet, funny, caring and beautiful she touched my heart forever. I can't even imagine how she's touched all of your lives so deeply these past twenty years. I wish I wouldn't have let distance separate us after I got married. I never got to truly know the family she so adored! Thank you for giving Dori the beautiful life and family she loved so much! With love!
