Wanted to send my love and prayers at this time. Aunt Dora was a wonderful person. Once I stopped into the Weirton Moose Lodge and when they found out I was related to Aunt Dora, I was treated like royalty. So many people will miss her. I will always remember her strength, kindness and intelligence! She was the best. God Bless you all.
Dear Joe & Family, We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Love, Jeff, Mel, Zach & Sydney Vuiller
