Dear Winiecki Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. I will always remember the fun I had going over to your house to play with Jenny. You were always one of my favorite families growing up. I ran into your mom and dad within the last year or so, at the credit union...they looked just like I remembered. Hugs to all of you and your mom.
