My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Mrs. Winkelman was a very special teacher that made my days at Oak Lake memorable. She always made me feel safe and I hope your memories carry you through this difficult time.

Dan,
We can feel the pain, you must be feeling with the loss of your mom. You have been a good son, and have worked hard to raise your family as a gift of paying it forward for your family. Your Mom I am sure has been very proud of you for the hard work the two of you have done with your own family. Time heals the pain, and for this reason we hope time will pass quickly. Keep passing it forward!
