Dora Lantigua Garcia Baz Ockerman

Dora and I worked together for many years in the St. Vincent's Family Medicine Center. She always added a little extra sunshine to my day with her smile, her laugh, her "funniness" and her touching me while talking to me. For many years we have been sending each other Christmas cards. Here is an early MERRY CHRISTMAS!, Dora. I know you will get the message. :^)
I love you,

I've known Dora what seems like most of my life. She has lived across the street from my grandparents for over 30 years. She would bring them food, check on them in time of need, lend a listening ear, share stories of her family. My grandmother was always jealous how well her plants grew. Dora said she spoke to her plants and that's why they looked beautiful. When my daughter was little she always had something for her. She was always so generous. I'm heartbroken we won't hear that thick...

As a neighbor for over 30 years she was a joy. Her heart and love for others knew no bounds. She will be missed by all. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain! Jim & Angel Vick

Jose and family,
I'm very saddened by this news.
I loved aunt Dora and I will miss her.
I remember when she and uncle Marlin came to Michigan for a visit when my dad was sick, she was talking on the phone to one of her sisters speaking in Spanish, my girls thought that was so cool. My daughter was talking to her friend telling him her aunt was talking in Spanish so she took her phone and started talking to my daughters friend, and we all just started laughing.
She was...
