I have lived most of my life in Winona. I went to the parochial schools and the College of St. Teresa in Winona. My five children all graduated from Winona schools. I have 17 grandchildren most of whom live in southeast MN or west central WI. I am married and we reside in Dodge, WI for the past three years. When I retired from a 30-year career with the City of Winona I never dreamt this would be my “last phase” to life. Josh told me two weeks before he died, “Momma, people are dying of fentanyl and no one is talking about it”. I didn’t know what he meant, but I found out and now I will NOT stop talking about illicit drugs in an attempt to save another mother from this pain. I speak for Josh.
