Juanita, We are sorry to hear about the passing of Winfred, I always enjoyed talking to him and Juanita when they would come to the Webb's out at Buchanan, and we used to see them a lot in the restaurants , when we were more mobile. He was a good Christian man and always enjoyed his church work. He did a lot of good work and service to the community as a Shriner. He will be missed.
May God bless all of you.
