To Charmaine, Renee and the entire family: May time ease the pain and leave you only cherished memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember when I first met Dora. We shared a room at the old Richmond Community Hospital on Overbrook Road as she welcomed a son and I welcomed my daughter. May God grant you the peace that only He can give. Ruth C Harris
