I am so sorry to hear about 'Pee Wee'. I came to know her best working in the voting poles with her in Thundebolt. She was always laughing and cutting up with everyone. My husband, James, loved to tease, and she could always come back at him to make us all laugh. She had a good heart and i know she will be missed. May she rest in peace. i will be praying for the family.
