Dear Doris and family,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of Dora. I have warm memories of her loving nature when she would cook for Mike and I with love. Her strength when we lost Mike was inspiring. Having lost my own mother last year, I know how difficult it can be. May the coming days bring you peace and comfort.
