I grew up with the Winegar family and I remember her having a son who delivered the newspaper and he was one of the nicest most polite young men you could ever meet. He was mom's favorite and I guess he is grown now. He always had a smile and he was a lot like his mom.
Through the years I know Delores has lost family that she loved dearly and several that were my life long friends as are her living brother David and his wife Trina. I know that her family has seen their share of loss in recent years, but I know she is renewed with them now in heaven with them all happy and smiling looking down on us like angels.
I am truly sorry about the loss of your sister, mom, and wife and grandmother and sister-in-law. Truly you have lost a good soul here and she will be missed by many. She was a good lady and truly a kind soul.
My prayers and thoughts are with all the family and friends for God to give you some peace and to know that one day you will see her again with family passed over.
She will have God's peace and no more pain from this world which can be difficult as we never know what course it will take us on, but if we believe in God we will always have relief in the end and know that he is in charge and he will take care of us if we let him.
God be with all of you, I am truly sorry for your loss
