To Walter and Family, it is with my deepest condolences to know your precious Mother has passed. I will always have the fondest memories of her praising my candied yams and spaghetti. I will miss her dearly. May she rest in peace until Jesus calls her to arise to her Heavenly Home.

I am honored to be able to call Jennie my friend. Jennie was so good to me and my husband and I couldn't help but be happy when I was around her. Jenny was smart, witty, honest, a down to earth person and so considerate of others. My heart is broken that I will not see her sweet face or hear her happy voice but her spirit, and who she was, continues to inspire me today, and always will. We love you Jennie; and our sincere condolences go out to the Winnix family. Janet and Rich Gritter
