I'm so very sorry to hear of Dora's passing. I got to know Dora through NEFCO and she was an especially kind and friendly lady. Many years ago, Ken and I worked together at his previous employer and at NEFCO on occasion. I've always had the highest regard and respect for Dora and Ken. I pray God's blessing of peace and healing on the Nabor's family.
