Our prayers are with your family. Elmer Cahanin, my dad, worked with Babe. Mom & dad were members of Little Flower & thought so much of Babe & Winnie.

Mrs. Winnie was an Angel on earth. She was there for my Family when my Mom was dying, bringing Holy Communion and visiting with us daily. I am so glad I got to see her every Friday at Cypress Glen and try to be there for her. I loved Mrs. Winnie very much and my heart is sad that I won't see her anymore, but I know Mrs. Winnie has a very special place in heaven just waiting for her! .....and I bet she will call Sweet Jesus...Sha
