I am so sorry to hear of Dorie’s passing. She was one of our “older” classmates, and I had huge respect for her return to university as a mature student. This year, our class celebrates our 30th anniversary and we will raise a glass in memory of Dorie. 😔❤️ - Posted by: Heather Purvis (Nursing classmate) on: Mar 07, 2020
