Dear Kathy and Family, I hope you're all tightly cradled by God's love and compassion with your mother's passing. I remember her, after more than 45 years ago, as a wonderful, kind human being who was always welcoming. She, as well as your father, were instrumental in so many ways in giving back to so many of us who grew up around your parents back then. Her spirit will live on! Thank you Winnie!
My strongest condolences to you Kathleen!

Kathy, my deepest sympathies. Winnie was one of the genuinely kindest soles i ever met. She was always up for a chat and ALWAYS had box of dog treats for everyone to give to Duncan. I cant tell you how many of those treats ended up in my laundry cuz Duncan was full. She
was also the mother of the first boy i kissed(she loved that story).

Dear Kathleen and family, I am so sorry to hear of Wins passing. I enjoyed working with her. She was a kind person. And we always had interesting conversations about different things. I have very fond memories of our trips to NYC. I will always have warm memories of her.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I have so many wonderful memories of her. You, Dorene & I had the best childhood growing up together & all our parents were a pretty tight group. Your mom along w/ Mrs. Saunders were like my 2nd moms! I remember birthday parties, clambakes, beach trips, shopping & so much more. I treasure those memories. We had the best neighborhood. I pray for the Lord's comfort for all of you at this time.
