To the James Family,
It was truly an honor to have met and cared for Dorine during her time both at Greenfield & Vista Park. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. James loving & caring husband, Mr. James and daughter, Anita. She will truly be missed by many. May the Lord shower the James Family with his grace and mercy during this time.
