Dorry will be sorely missed by all of the volunteers and Board Members of the Gottlieb Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
We will miss her stories of children and grandchildren but mostly her smile.
It was very nice to see the photos on display at Russo's and to view the video you prepared in her honor.
Your Mother had a happy and blessed life. May she rest in peace.
God Bless you all.

To the LaSpisa Family,

On behalf of the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo Provincial Guild, we extend our deepest sympathy. Dorry was a life long member and hard worker. She ran numerous events over the years and her claim to fame is the Sfingi booth at the "Taste of Melrose Park" year after year. She was deeply missed last weekend. Rest in Peace Dorry, you'll be forever in our hearts.
