I just heard of Dorothea's passing. I work at Elgin Sweeper and she was the one who hired me at Elgin Sweeper almost 45 years ago. Those of us who are still at Elgin Sweeper and remember Dorothea express our deepest sympathies.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

I have lots of nice memories when I was growing up of both your Mom and Dad.

Joe Staff was your Dad's cousin. I am Joe and Harriet's daughter, Debbie

Sincerely,

Debbie McClaughry
