My condolences goes to the Dore Family. Your friends and family can find comfort at Isiah 25:8. This scripture tells us that God will swallow up death forever. May this comfort you'all in your time of distress.

Just read of your Mother's passing and wish to express my sincere condolences and sympathy to you, Susie, and your entire family. Although I did not know her personally, her obituary is a lovely remembrance of her by those who knew and loved her.
