Many good memories of Dori, growing up in Brooklyn, such a kind and compassionate lady. I was lucky to work with her at Kounty Korners- she would have me taste test of Friday night fish batter-making sure it was just right and didn't need anything, and she shared her "secret" batter recipe with me.
May memories ease your pain. My sympathy to all.

Dori, What a gal! Some may say,"Doris your a bit crusty around the edges", but I always felt she had so much to share with others that she just expressed herself different then most. Our conversations about deer hunting, fruit trees, trout fishing ,ponies, and cards of all kinds always taught me something new. Euchre of course was her game of choice, and DAMM she was good. Dori I will sincerely miss your little cube "whats trump"? Her bird carvings were like the birds were alive in her living room. Brooklyn has loss a very important part of their community. I will always remember you in every Euchre game I play. My sympathy to Billy, Marsha and all who knew her. What a gal!

Sending our sincere sympathy to Billy and other family members. Dori watched our softball games, shared her love of gardening, and always managed to stop and chat - faithfully asking what was new with Amy, Abby, and my parents. It was awesome to see her getting around on her scooter at the Labor Day celebrations in Brooklyn. Billy - you will always have an angel on your shoulder as she loved you very much! May good memories help ease the pain of your loss. Brooklyn has in deed -
lost a very special lady. Sending many thoughts and prayers your way - Please take good care. Sincerely ~ Cheryl, Amy, Abby - Lawrence & Delores Harding.
