my friend
I have known Dora over 38 years, She was such a good friend that I know when I called, she' be there and have all the anwers that I would need., She so loved her cats and I remember one day talking to Jerome he had found a dead cat on the road and know Dora get so upset when one die, he went and buried it, to his surpirse Dora cat was home that night eating with the others, he had buried someone else's cat. I can rest knowing they were together right to the end and today they are together in heaven. Their love for each other was one of a kind. they love their God, their church, each other and all their family and friends. I will miss you Dora and will miss all of our calls, cards and your smile and laughter.
May all the famiiy know they were loved so much by so many.
My world was shaken when I heard the news of Dora's passing. I worked with Dora in the Occupational Health Clinic at Revlon. I will always remember her love for animals, family, friends and most of all her love for GOD. Her wit, laughter and bright smile will never be forgotten. I pray the family may find some comfort from those left behind and know that you are not alone during this time of mourning.
