I hope this will give some comfort to everyone who loved our dear Gramma Dora. Grammy sat on my deck in Colorado one night, many years ago, and watched as a full moon lit up the snow capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains. She told me often, after that night, that heaven was going to be just like those minutes. From now on, every time I see a full moon, I'll smile and say I love you sooooo much Grammy. I know she will hear us! Donna

Grams' four grandchildren are my first cousins. I always looked forward to my visits to Oceanport. My last visit was filled with amazement and renewal of family. Grams' still had her sharp memory and that beautiful sparkle in her blue eyes.

What a wonderful long life! The last picture of Dora we saw with her great great granddaughter she didn't look near that old. As Jean said she didn't have as many wrinkles as someone 40 years younger, like herself. It's always sad to hear of someones death but we can take comfort knowing she is with her Lord in heaven.

"Aunt Dora" became my aunt by-marriage in 1971, when I married into the Colmorgen family. She was always the sweetest and most gracious lady we have ever known. She always loved to have us sit by her kitchen table and have a cup of tea and some cookies and/or cake. She never missed exchanging Christmas cards, even at 108 years old. No one could ever know Aunt Dora, without unconditionally loving her. She loved her family so very much and was so proud to show us the latest photographs of all her loved ones. Her loving brother "Uncle Walt", was also a godsend to her, as he always came to see her everyday and also enjoyed that cup of tea and dessert as we did. Thank you for your love all the memories.

She was an absolutely lovely lady, and I mean lady in the truest sense of the word. The world has lost a wonderful soul.

Dora was my great grampa's wife. She was so nice and wrote to me when I moved to Michigan (1973) and didn't want to. She was so nice. I wanted to see her again but never got the chance. I would love to hear her story if anyone would like to share.
