My sympathy to Dori's family. I am a friend of Peggy's and we spend time with your mom when we went to Milwaukee to a Twin's game and on the way home we couldn't find a motel so when we got to Madison, we got her up and she let us bunk at her house. I saw her when she would come to Mpls. to visit too. Always that beautiful smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers for all of you. We were also facebook friends. Marge Johnson Mpls.
