"Dorla was a class act always. She meant a lot to me even though through the years we did not see each other. Friendships like ours are eternal. We worked closely at Valmont and shared many laughs and good times. I am so sad today. My best to Mike and family - I know you will cherish her loving memories. (Sue Villebro)"
