Although I haven't talked to Winnie in many years I've always had very fond memories of the time I spent with her and the longs talks we used to have on the phone.
She was a terrific grand mother tho my children as well as all of her grand children. She left her mark and will always be remembered fondly.
RIP mom.

It's Sunday night 5/15/11 and I'm thinking back to 1 week ago when I saw my beautiful mother-in-law in a casket. I didn't get to say good bye before she passed. I loved her as my own mother and I will always miss her . She raised a beautiful family and I am blessed to have her oldest as my husband. I see a lot of her in him. We will get through this difficult time together. Rest Mom, we will see you on the otherside...
