We are so sorry to hear of Dorsi's passing. She was kind enough to visit my dad and me in her old neighborhood of Glen Oaks - we live two doors down from her past home on Anita Drive. So sweet to have remembered us and to have coordinated an extra trip to our neighborhood. She was indeed a sweet and vibrant lady!
With Many Heartfelt Condolences,
The Guare Family
Chuck, Cathie, Peter,Elizabeth and John.

The Gordon family have very happy memories with Dorsi, Hal and boys on the beach eating Dorsi's egg salad sandwiches and drinking orange soda. We always had a fun day. We loved them all very much. Clair, David, Sharon and Debbie
