There will never be another Dora on this earth. She was so in love with the Lord and what he could do. She never had a mean thing to say about anyone and never said anything bad about someone else. She so loved the Lord and just couldn't wait to go home and be with my Mom and my Aunt Faye and her Mother...and of course God. She talked about that day as being one big party for the girls, she would just laugh and said oh I just can't wait till that day comes, and I am so ready for it! I love you Dora and I always thought of you as being my second mom...Love you always and forever....JennyI have never met someone who was always happy no matter what life threw her way, she always came out with a smile and a Glory to God!
I love you Dora......

My condolences go out to Dora's family. She was one of my mothers favorite friends. She still managed to call me a couple of times a year to to see how I was getting along after I moved to Michigan. She will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Randy, David and the rest of the family. " Your labour in life, your victory in death, will live on forever to those, who knew you best." Words by Dora at my mom's funeral.

Sis. Dora was a poetic soul who loved music and singing. She sang and spoke her praise and was a positive influence on everyone who knew her. Her journey has ended and she is with her Lord, and I'm sure she is still singing and praising him now. My prayer is that God will help and comfort her family.

My Aunt Dodi was the sweetest, most gentle person you could ever meet. She called me all the time just to talk and check on me. I loved her very much and will miss her dearly. Goodbye Aunt Dodi.
