Dora always wanted to see her family and friends. She loved being around people and got energy and hope from seeing their faces and hearing their stories. The energy that Dora gave was created by those around her and returned in kind.
As a teacher she touched the lives of hundreds of students including literally saving lives of some. She also taught friends and family to look at things differently; that there were more important things in life and to cherish the moment.
Nobody will say that Dora had an easy life, but no matter what happend to her she always remained positive. She never gave up and continued to help others even when she needed help herself. She always focused on the "good" and never let any problems keep her down.
