It made me excited to see Dorian at work. I knew the residents were taken care of. I knew we will have a fun day while she was there. I admire her soul which was very present when she was around

May I say that I lost that feeling now that she will not be with us. Hey girl remember me? Well of course I do!

She was such a great nurse especially in the addiction area. I was a patient of hers and I honestly don't think I would still be here on this earth if it wasn't for her kindness and always taking time when someone needed her. I'm so sorry she's gone. My condolences to her family.

I never had the blessing of knowing Dorian, but heard about her from her sister Kelly and read her obituary. She was an amazing woman and brought so much love to so many people. You were certainly blessed to have her in your lives. My heart and prayers go out to you. May God be with each and every one of you during this difficult time.
