The years have flown by Mom - 23 years to be exact, today. You are missed each and everyday. How could someone so important to all of us, ever be forgotten? All the special memories of you, and your constant concern for us, help to keep you forever close and a part of our lives. We talk about you with mutual respect for all that you did to show us, that there is nothing more important than the love of family. You were always a shining example of what that means- a standard that is hard to match. Love you Mom...Pat and the whole family. - Posted by: Pat Winn (daughter ) on: Aug 07, 2023
