My dearest condolences Kevin and Bob with the passing of your mother. I will always remember her spirit, and words of wisdom that she very often gave me the stories we shared her beautiful smile and most of all the warmth and generosity she extended to anyone that had the pleasure of meeting her. I will cherish all the beautiful memories I've shared with her over the past 5 years, I looked forward to seeing her every day and am going to miss her immensely. Rest In peace Dora♥️

My sincerest condolences to the Obrien family and friends who are mourning the loss of a very special person Dora. All those who were blessed to have known and converse with Dora have gained a strong depth of calmness, warmth and love which Dora instilled in many!   Dora enjoyed life and was grateful for every precious moment spent with her family and friends and even strangers who she met for the first time.  She had a big heart and would welcome new comers a desired for good conversation.
Dora was to the go to person when you needed advice or guidance, her knowledge of life was extensive and very exciting, I will immensely miss her stories, they were always wonderful.
Dora drive and independence to do everything for herself was foremost especially when going shopping,  I remember we went to Superstore pre-Thanksgiving, and Dora was looking at the bakery goods, she was adamant to push her own cart, (usually we would share one cart) but on this day, was not having it, so needless to say, the baking display tables had full length table clothes on them to make for festivity, Dora was going to get a Lemon moraine pie, she was pushing her cart around this circular table and as she move the cart, the tablecloth ends (on the floor) was wrapping itself around the cart wheels.  There was only one gentlemen at the same table who saw this, and I spoke out to Dora to stop her cart was coming over to her.  A few of pies did slide off the table, the gentleman caught one of them and the others dropped to the floor.  Dora and I moved our carts to another section to get away from the table, Dora said to me, someone is going to have to pay for those pies that got damaged, I told her to keep moving her cart as she was the culprit who did it, never seen her move the cart so fast, we laughed all the way to the cashiers.  Shopping with her was delightful. I will always cherish all the many memories of time spent with Dora.  RIP my dear friend you are now in the arms of our Lord almighty
