Winnie, You were a best friend and like a sister to me. My heart is heavy with grief that I no longer have you. However, I am relieved that you no longer suffer. Our lives will be forever changed without you. My children saw you as a mother figure, and Big Lou adored you.
I have unforgettable memories of the many good times we had through the years as friends and neighbors. Rest in peace my dear, dear friend.
