I have had the privilege of being one of Mrs. Winslow's 'angel's' as she called us. She taught me what true grace, beauty and charm were all about. Her advise, concern, generosity, quick wit and most importantly her love were unsurpassable.



One thing I remember is that she liked her clothes closet to be very organized. Before I knew her, I never knew the importance of white plastic hangers! Now I've become a firm believer in them. :-)



She was also like a mother to me - always wanting to know the details about the men in my life. I loved it because she always had great advise to give me. She has had a big impact on my life and I will miss her greatly.

My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to all the family of

this amazing, inimitable lady. I was

blessed to know first hand that her

two children, Ginny and Bob, could

not have been more devoted and appre

ciative of her. Their devotion and

love was beautiful to behold. I have

been so enriched and blessed to know

this lady who was affirming, kind,

gracious, humerous, loyal, tenacious

generous...no need to go on. You

know! People were her passion. When my thoughts turn to Marion, as they

often do, I smile and my heart is

glad. I will look forward to our

next meeting.

Thanks for listening, I needed the

space. With much love, Joyce C.
