We at St Barbara Church adopted Dora with loving arms. She was a sweetheart and always had a smile on her face. So glad we got to know her and helped her celebrate her milestone 100th birthday. The front pew is empty of her presence, but she now has a front row seat with Jesus in heaven. Rest In Peace dear Dora. You will be missed, but our memories will be with us until we meet again. Sending our deepest sympathy and prayers to her family.

Gods blessings,
Mary Ann Kent
