Allan & I have known Dora for 33 wonderful years and she was not only one of our most dearest and most sweetest friends but she even most lovingly stood as our maid of honor for us back in 1988.
Little did we know, but we would soon come to spend all of those decades of our life working side-by-side on that boardwalk together so there's no one that knows better than Allan & I,
how absolutely truly blessed Bev & Wally was
to have her! She was one truly hard worker!
She was one truly loyal and devoted friend!
We are all so devastated to lose her! She was
just one truly incredible young lady! Dora was everybody's sweetheart! She was everybody's friend! We will all miss her ever so dearly!
Until we meet again.....
