I am deeply saddened to hear that she has left us. I remember going to the Astros games in Houston with her and sharing a beer with her afterwards. She had a heart of gold and a wonderful son who I will always love. God take you to a better place.February 4, 2008Leigh GreggI worked at the State School with Winkie in the late 70's. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone, even us upstart young social workers. My prayers are with you.February 4, 2008Debbie ShattoI went to church with Winkie and also my mother, Gloria Humphreys was a friend of hers. My mom passed away eleven years ago, but she always spoke highly of Winkie. When I saw Winkie in church, she always had a smile on her face. I am sorry for your loss.
