Craig, Scott, Tom and family - so very sorry to hear of Mildred's passing. Grandma Ort was the sweetest, most proper, kindest, little woman I'd ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will always remember the formal / informal lunches / dinners she made at the spur of the moment for Craig and myself - truly a wonderful and special lady!!!
