Doris Bourdier

Dot Bourdier brought a special joy to all with her warmth, humor, wit and generosity. She had no problem putting others' needs before hers, it was just her nature. To me she was a loving Mother and the biggest blessing in my life. She always told me, have understanding and compassion for your fellowman for it is in caring and sharing with others we reap our greatest rewards. Even though you are no longer with us in the physical sense, I will continue to love you more each day. All my love, Keith.
