Tia Dora Not just Tia-she was daughter, sister, niece, mother, aunt, godmother, grandmother, great grand mother and second mother to many of us. She had many siblings with whom she was close, but what I can say is that she was my mother’s (her sister) best friend. I’m grateful for the numerous family gatherings and memories she was a part of; particularly in the 70’s and early 80’s. Such fond memories of her and my mum, and other cousins and aunts busily in the kitchen preparing feasts for our family. I will hold all these moments fondly in my heart. My Tia Dora was the last of my aunts and uncles. She was also a second mother to our family, and Paul is our brother. Not biologically, but rather when it counts the most. Paul, your sisters are here for you, always. A few days before God called her to Him, I had the privilege and honor of being present for her final blessing and to “pedir abença” to her for the last time. Sadly, that tradition for me, ended with her. Tia Dora, I love you and I am at ease knowing that you are now in God’s loving care.

May tia Dora live forever in a wonderful place together with the Lord and with all her loved ones who have gone before her. And may God comfort and strengthen you, (Paul) and Lucy and your children and grandchildren, with love and sincere sympathy from Paula and Chuck

Tia Dora absence is what I used to say when I would see my aunt, and her angelic voice would reply " que Deus te abencoe". Well it was her turn to be blessed and God understood that. You will NEVER be forgotten. I LOVE YOU ❤️. To my Family members, I pray that you are comforted in knowing that JESUS CHRIST our savior gained an angel. Absent from the body and present with the Lord. May you have strength and faith to endure the healing.
