Dear Sheila & Family: Please accept our condolences on behalf of the entire Wrenn family. Winifred was a wonderful lady and dear friend to many but especially to me. I'm sorry I was unable to attend the funeral as I'm not getting out much these days. We will keep Winifred & family in our prayers. Sincerely, Gilda Wrenn & Family.
