McLaughlin Family......I am so very sorry for your loss. I always called her "DOT" and she was my pal ever since our days working for the California National Guard. We always exchanged birthday greetings and Christmas wishes, and I will miss her so much. A lovely, gracious lady who could light up a room with her smile and laugh.....Rest in Peace, my friend.
