Debbie and family, hearing of Dora's passing left me so sad knowing we'll never see each other again. Also, I'll cherish the memories of our trips to Shooting Star. not just myself but Emily. I'll remember the time we got lost, thought we'd take a somewhat shorter route. We laughed so hard knowing now we were lost ha ha. If Dora is to be laid to rest with Elmer, as a friend I'D SURE LIKE TO KNOW WHERE so I could visit. Please reach out to Emily or myself. Rest in Peace my Friend. - Posted by: jenny (friend) on: Mar 16, 2025

My deepest sympathies to Dora's family. I have a lot of great memories from working with Dora at Parks Canada. We also used to go to bingo at Grand Beach together when I lived at Patricia Beach. RIP my friend. Pat - Posted by: Patricia Anne Isherwood (Friend and former coworker) on: Mar 15, 2025
