Dear Lars & Family,
I am very sorry to learn of Winona’s death. She was a very special person! I feel blessed to have had her as a friend. All of you & she are in my prayers.
We are sorry for your loss. We loved Winona.
Heidi I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I know that even when we know that it is getting close to the time that we will lose them it doesn’t make it easier when it happens. Draw on the strength of your family and the love that you all shared for your Mom at this time. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during the next few days while you all prepare to say good by.
Dear Lars, Heidi, Heather, Hope & Family:
I was truly saddened to hear of Winona’s passing; we always seemed to bump into each other at the Richland Post Office, she always recognized me and took the time to say hello and ask how I was doing, and chat.
Also, I will always remember her kindness to my mom, I remember how much mom always looked forward to receiving her cards, flowers, and phone calls.
When my own mom passed a few years ago, I received a card, from a friend the words I will never forget:
Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal
Irish Tombstone
With deepest sympathy,
Ric Bricker
Dear Lars, Heidi, Heather, Hope and Eric,
I just wanted to write and tell you that I was very sad to hear of Winona’s death. I’m sorry for all of you and will keep you in my prayers. What a wonderful picture of her that you placed in her obituary! She looks just like I always remember.
Love,
Cheryl
So many thoughts go through one’s mind at a time like this, but when you try to put them on paper, they seem so trite. The only true feelings that we can express at this time is that of sorrow. Sorrow for the loss of a truly sweet spirit that has touched our lives. Sorrow for Winona’s family who will miss her. Rest assured that our prayers are with all at this time.
Bill and Lorraine Frank
Dear Lars,
While I never met your beautiful life partner, Winona, I have always admired you and I share your sorrow at this time of grief and emotional transition. I am sure that your wonderful personality was enhanced, over the last 47+ years, by your loving life with Winona and your family. May god bless and keep you safe.
With deepest sympathy,
Errol Bonadie
Winona loved to talk about her children and grandchildren. She always had a smile for everyone and wanted people to be happy. My sympathy to her family and especially Heather.
Winona was a wonderful woman. I have many great memories of visiting WA and OR. I knew every birthday I had that she would send such a special card. I loved her and was happy to have her as an aunt. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
All my best,
Briana Thrower
