Dori was a good friend and I will miss the times we spent together at at She wher Aunt Dorothy's house for our 4 o'clock wine time. I have many fond memories of the our friendship and I admired her devotion to her sister Jannie. She was an amazing woman in a quiet and gentle way. My prayer go out to her family.
