My deepest sympathy in your loss. I am a neighbor of Wynne's and remember seeing her sitting on her porch or taking a stroll down the sidewalk and always stopping to chat. Her presence has already been missed in the neighborhood when she has not been able to be outside. I will remember her fondly.

Dear Short Family:
We are happy for Wynee that she has found her peace in the arms of God and her Henry, surrounded with the love of her brother, sisters and family in heaven. Along with her family today, we will keep her in our prayers and we are sorry the weather has to keep us away.
Life is eternal and love has no boundaries. And death is only a line on earth, just a limit to our sight. A boundary line that can be crossed everyday with our prayers and loving memories of such a great woman & mother,.
May you find comfort in your memories......
Love, Jim & Cathy Azzalino

To Steve and his family, so very sorry for you loss. She was a wonderful woman. I truly enjoyed visiting with her and you father back in the 70s. Thinking of you.
