Becky and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Dori, a Friend. We take comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain, and is with God in Heaven. We look at all the pictures that we have of her and Paul, and there is that Special Smile. It may seem like she is a million miles away, but she is still close enough to enjoy those Special Smiles. We are positive that Dori would hold our hands, and wipe our tears because she too would want to see that Special Smile. Becky/Rich
