My favorite memory of Dora is her telling of the story of her rooster named Gladys. What a wonderful soul.

I always enjoyed seeing Dora at the U.D.C. meetings and sometimes at Lumpkin's. I'll miss her.

I thought the world of Dora. She was so much fun to work with at the bank! My prayers go out to the family over the loss of Dora who was a very special person.

We've lost a true free spirit and will surely miss her. Our lives were brightened by her nature and good heartedness. The home-place won't be the same without "Tootie" but you can bet she's with the Lord and feeling "right at home".
