Condolences
The family of Nancy Roberta Winkle has received the following condolences.
Though we haven't seen much of Nancy in recent years, we fondly remember her & Dick at their home on Second Street SW when we were all in high school & later on their boat at the lake & at their cabin. We are sorry not to be able to attend Nancy's funeral.
With our sincere condolences,

I am sorry that I will be unable to attend your mother's funeral. Please accept my condolences for your loss. I would have liked to visit with all of you personally, but I don't drive and can not get there. Your mother took an active part in our school activities at Hawthorne. I found her to be a pleasant person with whom to work. She lived a long, fruitful life, and has accomplished many things that you will remember.
With sincere sympathy,
Warren Zimmerman
