To the family of Ms. Winnie, I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Winnie when I was as a server in the dining room at Asbury Solomons. She lit up the room when she came in for dinner with her smile. She was so sweet and pleasant to be around. I offer my most sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed. R.I.P Ms. Winnie!
Susan & Mike: We were saddened to hear the death of your Mother. My sister enjoyed her trip to Denmark with you and your Mom years ago. Our prayers and sympathy are with you and your family.
Susan and family: While serving as Director of Nursing at Asbury Solomons for 3 years, I had the privilege and pleasure of caring for sweet “Ms. Winnie.” Her sweetness, humor and spunk always had a way of brightening our days! She always made us chuckle when she clearly exclaimed that she “did not feel like doing something”, yet would quickly change her mind and participate when the men from the Maintenance Dept showed up! Her smile was contagious and will never be forgotten. May God wrap his arms tightly around you during this time of grief and always. Thanks for the opportunity to love your Mom! 🙂
