Your Mom was one of my favorite people that i have had the honor of knowing. Memories of the house on Burke street. Peanut butter an jelly sandwiches at lunch, swimming summers at the country club. Always a house full of people. The fond childhood memories are there forever. You mom was such a blessing to everyone she met. She will always have a special place in my heart.

I met Winnie when she rediscovered her love for bridge. I have many happy memories of sitting across the table from her and being her partner. She was very special and will be missed.
All my sympathy,
Toni
