    My friendship with the Winston family is nothing short of a treasure. This sudden loss was a shock to us all, but God will give us strength and I will pray for the family. I was down last Friday and spoke with Mrs. Winston, so glad I got to see her.

    In Kind Regards and God Bless,

    Our journey together has been one of respect and awe. We came through our motherhoods and our mutual goals at last, at one. Both of us with the mutual understanding that our family was first and our children were most amazing and wonderful. I thank our God that she was with me through the journey. Kathryn Winston

    To Pratt, Jim and Anne, Kathryn and J.R., John and Anna, Francis and Tammy; the entire Winston and Blackwell families and extended families. I am so very sorry about Gwens’ passing and your loss. Gwen was such a beautiful person! Her zest for life and love for her family and friends may be matched by others but not surpassed. I am so grateful to have known her. My best to all of you.

    Dear Pratt and family, I will always remember how Gwendolyn made me and my family feel so welcome when we came up to the lake for the Womack company picnic many years ago. Everytime I saw her after that, it was like she had know me forever… always smiling, always friendly. What a special lady. I pray for peace and comfort to you all.
