Weenie & Family,
Our deepest sympathy to you. We have so many memories of her in the trailer park with Pop and Jean Eckenstein. We thought the world of her and our son Brandon did also. She will be missed by all that loved her.

Weenie & family,
My heart goes out to all of you for your loss. My fondest memory is of her surprise birthday party in Yorktown several years ago. She was the happiest I had ever seen her. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
