Janice and Family,
I will always remember your mother in my heart. I often remember the times I stopped by and she was always so welcoming and really cared, that twinkle in her eye and she radiated so much warmth and love. I am just sorry that I did not keep in touch with her and the whole family more. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Winnie,
Thank you first for welcoming me unconditionally into the Donoho family fold so many, many years ago. Later, as my own Mother began to slip into the mists of dementia, I thank you most for filling the void in my life and in my heaart. You were always there to offer me Motherly guidance, perspective and advice when I needed it most. Your presence in my life will be missed.

I offer my sincere condolences to the entire circle of Winnie's family and friends.

Winnie was a special lady, elegant, proper,beautiful inside and out. She always had a pleasant thought, and caring ways. She has left her children and grandchildren an honorable legacy.
Janice, David all the kids, I send my deepest sympathy, and I know dear Winnie is in Heaven, and able to see with her eyes, and the Lord does work in mysterious ways in that she got to spend time with her twin sister.God bless you and heal your hearts in time. Love, Susan. "Winnie's racing buddy".
