Dec. 29 Dora News

The snow was great for the Christmas season. I only saw one snowman but it was a pretty good one and lasted most of two days.

Several senior citizens stayed in as long as it was so icy so I didn’t hear of any mishaps of any kind.

Sympathy

To Karen Skelton and family on the loss of Bro. Phillip in an accident over west of Lubbock. He had stopped to help someone and was struck by another vehicle. The had pastored our Dora Baptist for some time before moving to Lubbock. Their children were already gone from home when the lived in Dora. We pray God comforts each of them in this time of sorrow. The memorial service was Monday morning in Lubbock.
