What a sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet lady! I don't know which I'll miss more about Aunt Dora - her smiling face, her interest in my life, or her insistence that I taste every dish of delicious food that was always present at family gatherings. From the time I was a puppy until I last saw her this past summer, it was always obvious that she was terrific wife, mother, grandmother, etc. When God made Aunt Dora, He definitely was on top of His game!
