Dora was a lovely person who loved her God Jehovah deeply. We will Always remember her kindness, and her dignity even through very hard times with her health. What a joy it will be to welcome this strong, loving woman back in the New World. She is in our hearts and our memories until then.

I got to know Dora well enough to know she is very kind, patient, and loving. I was able to work with her in the ministry a few times and I always enjoyed it. She genuinely cared for the people she witnessed to and it showed. Every now then I could get her to laugh with her quiet chuckle. She will be missed till she is resurrected.

We love Dora and will keep her in our memories and hearts. We will not forget her warm, gentle smile and her loyal love she showed for Jehovah and us in the congregation. For all her family and friends - we keep you in our prayers to keep being comforted and to endure this loss of our loved one that was close to our hearts.

Dora was such a sweet sister and always had a positive attitude. She is a fine example to us all to keep enduring and not letting go of our spiritual routine despite the challenges we face. We will see you very soon, Dora! For now, you are resting in Jehovah's loving memory!

Dora is such a wonderful person. She is always soft and gentle. Her smile and little chuckle are refreshing. She brings encouragement to her spiritual family by being on Zoom for the meetings and the ministry even when she doesn't feel well. Her love for Jehovah and us is why she is so easy to love. I'm writing this in present tense because she is in Jehovah's memory and we will see her again, happy and healthy. (Acts 24:15) We will get to enjoy our wonderful friend with that soft gentle smile and chuckle. See you soon Dora.

I didn't get to know Dora well, being fairly new to the congregation and then the pandemic, but what I did know is that she was a very kind and loving sister who is taking a little nap until we see her again very shortly. She is greatly missed. Condolences to her family and those who were very close to her.
