My thoughts are with all of you at this time. As some of the other notes said, Aunt Dorila was full of live and humor that she dished out with that deep rich voice. Norma Galipeau

Craigg and I had the wonderful pleasure of having Memere visit us last year in Denver, CO. I spoiled her every morning with homemade muffins, to the point where she said she missed them when she went back home. Dorila is one of those people that can make you laugh just thinking about her because she always had something light and funny to say in any situation. I will miss her and my heart goes out to the family she left behind.

Our last memory of Aunt Dorila was Easter Sunday at the Oceans Garden Restaurant. She was in good spirits and ate a healthy meal. But when asked about having dessert, most of us said no, but not her. She wanted chocolate cream pie. And she enjoyed each bite. She will be greatly missed by us all.
