Dear Cheryl, Lynn & Dave,

Your Mom, brought so much Joy & Kindness to all of us. She was such a wonderful Mom, always so welcoming to all of us "school kids". I remember how fun she was to be with & her darling smile. You're in our thoughts on your great loss.

My mom Aldiva was Winnie's friend and always had nothing but good things to say about her. I was blessed to get better acquainted with her later when I would go monthly to Tam Creek for my job. She was a delight and so loved. She stood out as one of the most caring people always was watching out for others. She really made a difference in their lives. Lovely, lovely woman. May God bless her and you all in absorbing your loss.
Sincerely

Winnie was such a lovely lady. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Merrill Gardens when visiting my grandfather. She was so fun, energetic, and a friend to all.
