Dear Debbie and all of Winnie's Family,
Prior to Winnie's moving from her home in Washington Township, we had the pleasure of being neighbors of hers, and what a true delight she was. We have many fond memories of Winnie from her outside yard work, to her inside baking, to her wonderful talent of art work. She was a remarkable person and the greatest of neighbors. She shall be missed. With sincere sympathies, Tom and Darlene Sabatine.
