My Mom taught me how to be a good father and and a good husband. Thank God see was a patient woman. Thank all of you for all of your thoughts and prayers. I think brother Dave N. said it best when he said she "brightened every room she walked into." They are surely passing out the sunglasses in Heaven today. I love you Mom, and I will see you and Dad again soon.
We will miss our next door neighbor so much. We thank God for the time that we had with her and will continue to be close to Bob. I can't cook as well and as much as Dorie, but, I can give it a try. Dorie, I miss you tons and tons. Love, Patty and Tom
Bob and Dorie's family, Dorie was a very special friend to me. We were bridge buddies, like to share an occasional lunch and movie and been known to have a glass of wine together. She was such a delite. We loved to laugh together. I will miss her so much as I know all of you will. The world is a better place for her being here.
To Dorie's family Our condolences to all of you. Dorie was such a sweet lady. Enjoyed having her in the Ladies Golf Association at Heritage Ranch. She was so patient, kind and such an inspiration. Larraine York
We share your grief in losing our dear friend Doris. Our friendship goes back to the 1950s in Council Bluffs, and we will greatly miss our longtime friend. She was loved by all as a kind & generous person.
I will remember Dorie fondly with that sweet smile and twinkle in her eyes. Our thoughts and prayers include her family. Shirley Stoner
Dorie and Bob are very special people to me. They were one of the first homeowners to live on Pine Valley. I always enjoyed the twinkle in Dorie's eyes. I will miss her!
Dorie was one of the first ladies I played golf with at Heritage Ranch. What a dear lady and such an inspiration! Will miss her!
