My deepest sympathies to you all and celebrations also for the kind of person she was. Dori was adamantly kind to me - Come, see the view! Come, walk with me on this path! Come, hear my laughter and share my wealth and let my joy wash over you! I will miss her lively and generous spirit. I'll never forget her and if I can honor her in any way, let it be this: I will invite people to Come, with me! and share in the things I love.

So sad to hear the news. But no one is gone as long as they live in our hearts and memories, so you can be assured "Mrs. Brooking" will live for many many more years. River fire pit, building the ponds, All the Fun at the house on pill hill. And Dory was a leader of the pack. I think she was the first person to serve me vegetables I didn't recognize and made me eat them.

Barbie, Lindy, Cathy, Andy, Peggy, John and Ann,
My deepest sympathies to you all and your families. I've known Dorie all my life as our families were intertwined. My mother was your live in nannie. The older girls babysat my sisters and I and I went to school with some of you. Your dad was my doctor. Our first dog was a springer spaniel from your Speckles and Freckles. I so enjoyed seeing Dorie over the years at the Downtown Camas Pnat FAir, The holiday bazaars and other gatherings. She was a fantastic woman, wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Everyone knows how much she loved her family and Brook. They are now together for ever. She will be greatly missed.
