Frank and Family
Am so sorry to hear of Dora's passing. She is at peace and rest now. Dora was a quiet lovely woman, who loved to be in her lovely gardens all the time. Now whenever I see those types of garden florals, I will be thinking of her. My sincere sympathy and prayers are with you.

Dora was a wonderful woman who taught me, as a new convert to the LDS church, how to be a Young Women's advisor and president. Her example, has carried me well in many wards around the country. I will always appreciate her influence in my life. My heartfelt sympathy to her family at this time.
