My sincere condolences to her family. May she rest in peace.
Michelle and family – my sincerest condolences on the loss of your mom. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Michele, Todd, Chris, and family – My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Winnie was a dear friend to me and we shared a lot of good times together and you are so right about her witty personality. I will never forget the first time I met her when she drove up in my yard. From that moment on we shared many hours of great conversations. The trips to Williamsburg and to Hawaii for Michele’s wedding will never be forgotten. I know she is in good hands now with the Lord above and will be making a wreath or a flower arrangement right away for him. May you all remember the goodness and kindness Winnie shared with everyone. Her children, her family, and her home was her life.
I extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Winnie. May she Rest in Peace.
My Deepest Sympathy to you Michelle and your family. May the loving memories that you have of your mother be with you always.

To Winnie’s family, I was so sorry to hear of her passing. I only met Winnie a few times, but each time I did, she made me laugh! She had a great sense of humor and was very pleasant to talk to in any situation. I’ll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
