Learned of your mom’s passing while in Minnesota last week. So sorry for your loss. Saw the obituary in the Free Press and enjoyed learning of all of Auntie Dorothy’s interests. When I got married each of the aunties helped with the wedding. Since I was in Portland and the wedding was in LeCenter, they were my team of wedding planners. As I recall Auntie Dorothy made the arrangements for the wedding cake and let me use her cake topper.
Thinking of you,
Terry
