Tenemos un maravilloso Dios que nos da buenas esperanzas y que a pesar del inmenso dolor que  produce la muerte de un ser querido tambien nos fortaleces con  su palabra el se tragara a la muerte para ciempre Isaias 25:8

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel. 

My Dear friend Dori, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. It is hard to believe that you are no longer with us. Coming to work is no longer the same. I miss you dearly! 
Love, Norma Acosta

Although this message is delayed, the prayers and thoughts from my wife and I started from the moment we heard of our good friend Dori's passing.  At the same time, we learned about Wayne's passing, which made us very sad too.  As life gets busy with work and family, especially children, time and space comes between friendships, which was the case with us, but (as I read once) good friends are like stars in the sky - you don't always see them, but you always know they are there.  In general, there are two points to this message: 1) to express our deepest condolences to the children and family of Dori and Wayne; 2) to contribute to the stories of how special and wonderful Dori and Wayne were, individually and as a couple.  Dori and I (Eric) have somewhat of a long history together.  We attended the Upward Bound Program, graduated from North, and enrolled at UNC together. We made many trips from Greeley to Denver on Fridays since I had a car.  We also worked together in college and professionally after college because she had encouraged me to apply for both jobs, one of many examples of how she was always helping others improve their lives.  A piece of who I am is definitely gone; you will be missed greatly my friend.  Wayne was also very special - one of the kindest, warmest, and most genuine individuals we have ever met.  Again, our deepest condolences go out to their children and family.


My sympathy goes out to the Family during this time of grief. May Gods loving kindness comfort and help you through this difficult time
Psalms 119:76

You were a great colleague to work with. I will truly miss you. May God be with your family during this difficult time for them.

My condolences goes out to the family during this difficult time. May you find a measure of comfort found in God's promise at John 6:40 which says that soon we will all see our loved ones again.

Dori and I met during Roadmap at FRCC.  I admired her enthusiasm, creativity, determination, and dedication to students.  Although our paths have not crossed for some time, I will miss my friend and colleague.  

You were the most wonderful person I could have ever known ,much less be blessed to call my Auntie! I will miss you Dearly Tia
Say hi to My Uncle ,and may you 2 love birds Rest in Eternal Peace

All of us at Eagle Ridge Academy send our deepest sympathies.  We were so fortunate to have Dori as a board member who always advocated for our students and community.

Dori I Miss you very much Ive been crying for days on end and I miss You VERY much I cannot wait ti see you agian

To our dear Family, Although we didn't see our cousin/grand niece, Dori very often, she was always on our minds and hearts.She truly is a beautiful person inside and out! What a gracious host all of you were when we visited from New Mexico. We will definitely miss her and Wayne at the next family reunion. We truly are sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. With time, may peace be with all of you. Big hugs!

I was heartbroken to hear about the loss of my colleague and friend, Dori. She and I were hired at the same time in 2009 (me part-time, her full-time) and grew close during my time at the Brighton Center. She was an invaluable resource when my grandmother died, helped me navigate numerous student challenges, judged the Speech Showcase every year, and served as a reference when I applied for my full-time job at FRCC. We shared a love of turtles and laughter. Slow and steady wins the race, my friend  but whatever will I do without you?

Dori's passion for students and enthusiasm for her community was an inspiration.  She had a heart for others and will be missed.

Doris Jean will always remain in my heart.  She never failed to show love and kindness to those she came in contact with.  She was an awesome woman of God, a great mother, a mentor and a wonderful friend to me.   Peace be with you my dear sister in Christ.

Our memories of Dori will always be of a woman who was dedicated to improving the lives of students, particularly those whose obstacles often made progress in school difficult.  Dori believed deeply in the power of an education, and during the years we worked together at the Greeley Dream Team, she used her many creative talents to support students achieve their goals and dreams.  Dori was a lovely woman, inside and out, and it was a true pleasure to work with and get to know her.  Dori's contributions students and to the community will be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Dori was not only my colleague, but my friend.  I have not seen her in a few years due to our lives taking different paths, but I loved her enthusiasm, authenticity, and commitment to the betterment of others.  Dori, you will be sorely missed!  Love, Erin Hoag

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

"I only knew Dori for a short time but she made me feel as if I had known her for years.  She was kind, accomplished, knowledgeable and thoughtful.  She seemed to care about others more than herself.  Dori lit up the room when she was in it.  I know she will be deeply missed and I am so very sorry for her family and friends.  This is such a profound loss for them and our entire community."

Dori will always be remembered as a compassionate person for students who needed a smile and the knowledge she was there for them. Her leadership at the college and in the community will be remembered and missed.
Lydia Brokaw

 One of my greatest memories of Dori was the fact she was a person of real faith real in words and in deeds. I sat with her on a couple of occasions and spoke about her passion to serve others. She never met a child she didn't love especially those God gave her and her husband to raise. Oh, how she smiled when she spoke of her children. There was a glow that came about her. 
She loved the Lord and she loved her family. What a testimony to a life lived.

Dori was always so thoughtful.  She was an amazing advocate for her students and I will miss our conversations.  I hope the angels can keep up with her ambitions.

Dori loved students and loved Front Range Community College.  She shared that love by helping students achieve their dreams.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew her kind heart and boundless energy.

We wish to express our sympathy to all of her family.  
Paul and Betty Wickenkamp Holyoke, CO.

Our deepest condolences to your family during this difficult time.  With deep respect for our colleague and friend,

Dori's kindness and compassion will always stand out in my memory. She was a wonderful colleague and will be missed greatly.

I was shocked and so sorry to read of Dori's untimely death in today's Tribune, as well as mention of Wayne's April death. What a terrible loss of a wonderful, kind, and giving couple. I knew Dori when she was a student at UNC and admired her persistent, intelligent and giving spirit then and throughout her life. My deepest condolences to her children and in-laws. Phyllis Endicott
