  1. I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs Winky for the last two years because my Grandmother has been at FHCC also. Mrs Winky would play bingo with us on Saturday mornings. She would always want me to come over by her and just hold her hand while we played. My condolences to the family. I will miss seeing her.

  2. Myrle, I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Like Grandma DeOre, she served tirelessly to comfort so many people. I know you have many great memories of her. Love, Mary Ann (DeOre) McShane
