Debbie and Donna, We are very sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a loving, caring friend and we were blessed with her visits when she came to Winchester for family visits after moving to Florida. We planned to attend her service, but both had colds and were not able to attend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you for the loss of your mom and our dear friend Harry. Janie and Harry McDonald
