    Our sincere condolences from both of us. We missed her funeral sadly due to a death and funeral in Northern VA of a close family friend on practically the same days of Dora's passing and funeral. We will surely miss seeing Dora and talking to her and LT on their life and her family, the Rogers of Rogers' Court and Bryants. We will keep LT and his family in our thoughts and prayers - God Bless from his neighbor Frank & Mary Ellen.
