God Bless...our sincere sympathies to Joan and the entire Roe Family. Josh will prepare a legislative citation in honor of Mildred's long and rich life and the many lives she touched, and we'll pass the word in her memory in the Jackson Park area. I am in Floor Session on Wednesday and cannot attend wake in Milwaukee but will speak during "announcements" portion of Assembly Calendar and dedicate a moment of silence at the Capitol.
