This is your first birthday since you left us, left this world, left the cares of this world. Do you know how much we miss you? My heart aches everyday and still some mornings I wake with a gasp realizing your're gone. Do you know how well your family is doing? My heart smiles with the thought of the possibility that you may see what I see....
your family thriving; the beautiful blossoming of youthful hope in your children. Part of your life on in them. My heart swells with your pride when I look at them. I like to think that what my eyes see, you see. Maybe in the realm where you now eternally dwell you have not one care for this earthly place.. Just in case you do, I'd like to say on your first birthday since you left us...It is well.
Happy birthday dear cousin,
Teri
Wishing you a sweet Birthday up in heaven, with all the angels celebrating with you! We miss you, and want to say you are always in our hearts, and minds.
Love, Teresa

Wow it has been a year since we all said good bye to our Dori! She must be proud of what has happened since her passing! Al, Grant and Sophia have grabbed the Baton and ran at an Olympic pace! What a Fight Dori gave to her condition. She was a warrior and an inspiration to us all!!! I feel sadness on occasion, but mostly I feel blessed to have been her Brother and Friend in this short life!! We have all learned from such a strong Person!! My heart bleeds today!!
I Love You Dori!
Hey Buddy- It’s so hard to believe that it’s been a year since we lost you. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about you. I miss you so much that my heart still hurts and you’ll Always have a piece of it. I smile as I think of all the wonderful times we’ve had. As I Thought about the conversation we’d have on your birthday I can hear you say how I’m a year older than you, we’d just laugh cause although only by 2 months you’d always have to say by a year. I missed that call this year and all the other conversations we could have had. I’ve always hated being so far away from Ca and this year is no different. Your legacy my friend lives on within your family and friends. Thank you thank you thank you! You’re an inspiration for all. As I look at the pictures of your celebration of life you touched so many people and still do. I know your dancing on tables and painting rainbows as bright as can be. My friend always and forever. I love you.
