So sorry to learn of the passing of Dolores. I have known her and Don most of my life. They graciously invited me to Baudette, MN for a fishing trip in 1986. We had so much fun and caught so many walleye. What a great week. 10 years later I listed my house for sale and they bought it. Dolores said she loved it from the time we went on the fishing trip. She was a great person and I know she will be missed. Hugs and Prayers to you all.
