I went to Merivale high school with Rose and Dora... and while in the mall I would see them and yell their names and they would instantly smile and yell mine back.. Truly amazing... I bumped into Dora last year in the beauty shop, she was still beautiful with that same smile. Honestly this has shook me as your name always stayed with me as one of the nicest people I have ever met... RIP ...

Rose, and entire Pucci and Aspelund Family;
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. Matthew and Katelyn, May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through this difficult time. Your mom was a dear friend of mine in Junior High, and I will never forget her.

Dear Katelyn and Matt I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew your mother quite well, I hired her at the Perley hospital many years ago. By a strange coincidence Dora was my nurse many years later at TOH civic campus. She remembered me and I her. She had such a good and kind heart . Nursing has lost an excellent nurse.

Brian was the first employee I hired when I was a manager in the accounting department at CJOH-TV. We quickly became friends and we maintained our friendship to the day he left us. As his tax accountant, he would bring his children when they were younger, to my home office every year so they could see and play will all my rescued animals. Those were good memories. I am grieving for this tragic loss. Goodbye Brian and Dora.

Dora was a very good friend in high school, and I still ran into her every now & then. She was one of the nicest people I've ever met, and after meeting Brian, I felt she'd found the perfect match. My heart is broken for Matthew, Katelyn and the Pucci & Aspelund families, and also for the many friends and co-workers who knew this extremely kind couple. They will be missed every single day. What a senseless tragedy.
