I am just today hearing of Dora's passing. Dora will be remembered by me always. She was an example to me of what it means to be a God Honoring wife, a good sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother aunt, and friend. Above all she showed me by her words and actions how to put Jesus first. The fruit of that in Dora was her positive speech about others. I loved her very much and am so glad I was able to be a part of her life for a short season that will impact me for the rest of my life. My deepest sympathies to her closest friends and family. Much love to you all.
