    Dear Friends,

    I was sorry to learn of Dora's passing and wanted to express my condolences to all of Dora's friends and framily. Linda Lewis let me know of her passing. Linda, Dora and I worked together many years ago at the Ohio State University Libraries. I appreciated working with Dora very much. I thought so much of her kindness, generosity, sense of humor and wonderful ideas about how to live life and treat people right. I am sorry she is gone but know she is with her Lord Jesus Christ now and at peace. As a pastor's wife I am confident of this and all of His promises and know how this must be a comfort to you all. Again, my condolences to you all.
