My sister, Mary, is one of my heroes. She was feisty, independent and loving toward her family as well as charitable toward those less fortunate. She sponsored educational opportunities for several Native American children. She started several successful businesses as well as working many years as a deputy auditor and a Settlement Officer for the State of Indiana. Mary will be missed.
So sorry for your loss, Doug. It’s been a very long time since we worked together at IGC on 25th St. We were kept busy “helping” Creed the janitor. Remember the card table? Sharon and I wish you and your family the best of luck. Thinking of you.
