Mom, although a year has passed you are in my heart as strong as ever. I miss you very much, but know that you are here in spirit. I know that you are above with everyone that passed before you having the time of your life. I love you mom. Love always, Mary

Aunt Dora, we'll always cherish and remember the times we were able to spend with you and Uncle Joe.  It's a shame we lived so far apart and were not able to get together with all of the Pina side of the family.  May you rest in peace and look down on us with your loving eyes.  May God forever  keep you in his  loving arms and may God bless Uncle Joe.

My Grandma touched so many lifes and was the most kind and generous person to everyone! Her strength was admirable and she was always staying positive no matter what life threw her way! She always showed me that you have to have forgiveness in your heart and love everyone for who they are. She always inspired me to a better woman and showed me what it is to be a mother,grandmother and even great grandmother. Her heart was huge and she will be with us always!

What a wonderful lady that we were blessed to have in our lives.  We will always treasure our time spent with the Mattos Family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you Papa Joe.

Dave and Family,
Our thoughts and Prayers to you and your family during this difficult time. Dora seemed to have touched many people in her life.

Dora was the most vibrant,  energetic person I have known. I am blessed to have had her in my life.   I will miss her hugs, her happy way of living and embracing life.  2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose... All that we love deeply becomes a part of us" 
Words were never more true than when it comes to Ms. Dora. She will live on in the hearts of many. Her laughter will be heard as the birds sing and her  loving hugs will be felt in a soft warm breeze. I wish you comfort & peace Joe.

Thank you to everyone! My mother was the most Godly woman I have ever known. She was so full of grace, dignity and forgiveness. I was so blessed to have such a beautiful loving mom who was always there no matter what time of day. She had such a sense of humor up to the last day she had us laughing! She taught me so much, but especially about forgiveness and grace. She had many friends that loved her and I know that she is a beautiful place filled with all those she loved and she will forever be a major part of my life. I love you mom and will see you one day again! Your loving daughter Mary

Thank you all for the kind and loving words. My mother was the most Godly woman I ever knew! She was so full of grace, courage, dignity and she forgave everyone. One of the biggest thing she taught me was about forgiveness. She had the best sense of humor and had it up to her last day. God truly blessed me with such a beautiful and caring mother. She was always there for me no matter what time or day I needed her. She is in a good place and now has peace and has joined all who went before her. I will truly miss her, but know I will see her again. I love you mom so very much! Your Loving daughter, Mary

Dora was a special person. I have fond memories from the days we worked together at Thunderbird.  My heart and prayers go out to all of you.

I have been greatly blessed to have known this dear woman. She would always greet me with a smile, a hug and a kiss. Compassionate and loving are the words that describe her to me. I will miss her until I join her in heaven. Oh, what a beautiful legacy she has left.

Dear Joe and Family, Dora was a beloved person to all of us at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church in Overgaard.  Her passing has left us with a great loss in our hearts.  We are praying for her, you and the family.
