Although I moved far away from Milwaukee ten years ago, I still have very fond memories of both Joyce and Don Thorson. As one of their son Dan's friends, I had many opportunities to spend time with them, specifically with Mrs. Thorson and all of her work with St. John's. Please know that her good works and kind and caring spirit won't be forgotten. Your entire family is in my prayers.
