I've worked with and have known Petra for 30 years. She was a very special "Mama bear" figure to me. I will miss her laughter, thick German accent, and sweet heart, very much! I wish her family peace and comfort knowing she was a very special part of our Duffys family and the community in Osseo.
My deepest sympathy!
