I was told this morning of Winnie's passing. I do send my love and condolences to the entire family! I had already been missing her terribly and will continue to do so. My son brought her up the other day. He blurted her name out loud while we were driving down the road and asked if he was going to get to go see her? He has not seen her in over a year. She was a wonderful, beautiful lady that touched so many lives. She was full of love and loved by many. She was the best teacher for the children, but she was also an awesome mentor for parents as well. She worked wonders, and I will never forget what she did for my Corey!
She will remain forever in mine and Corey's hearts!
God Bless to you and your family and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Can you imagine what a wonderful start in
life that Winnie gave to so many children
in those 40 years of preschool?
She really loved those kids! God bless.
