My condolences to all the family of Eileen Fedo. She was my mothers' Margaret Martinson Moniak's best friend growing up in West Duluth, and they were each others wedding maid of honor. Your parents were such good friends and always celebrated all special events with all of us. Ray and Margaret played an important part in their lives. They even baby sat me as an infant. I remember Eileen designing the flower cart at St. Mary's hospital during the years I worked there as a nurse. We always stopped to chat. She had a wonderful life with Sam and the family, and I am happy to have known her. My thoughts and prayers for all of you. Judy (Moniak) Moretto Hermantown, Mn.
