I cannot remember if she was Winona or Pomona but everyone lost a true friend and “sometimes” good singer. ha.
She was a good wife, mother and friend to all. She raised her children well.
I am sure the family is devastated. My prayers are for you and ALL the family.
Please rest with the comfort that Heaven has a good cook and singer now.
May God bless you. Ray Fine
