Message: Dear Dory and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mick did so much for our little church. I always liked to get gas at his station as he would tease me about one thing or another. Two years ago I was in New Rockford and visited with Mick when he was at the cafe for lunch.
Thinking of you,
Shirley Ferber Pedley
