To the entire Wingerd family. I am so sorry to read about the passing of your mother Jean. Although I never knew her, she had to be a wonderful woman, and mother and wife to raise such great children. Children who went on through life to reach incredible goals. Ellen, you are really the only one in the family that I really ever knew from school. I pray for God's love, grace, strength, and mercy to be with you all at this time. Just know in all your hearts that she loved you all dearly, and gave you the best years of her life. God's many blessing to you all.
