To the Wingert family, my condolence, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sad to hear of Margaret’s passing. She was a lovely, caring woman. She would call me a couple times a year just to check on me. We always would bring up a memory of Melissa and share it. May she rest in peace.
Steve so sorry for your loss
Steve and family sorry to hear of your mother’s passing.
Grandma Wingert I am at a loss, its hard to believe that you have gone to be with your husband Leo which I know that you are at peace. I would of not know you if I hadn’t taken the time to ask Tiffany to be my locker partner when we were in the 9th grade. Have know you seen then and you have always made me feel like one of your granddaughters. Will always miss you and hearts and prayers go out to your family at this difficult time.

To the Wingert family – thinking of you! So many fond memories of Margaret! She called me when my Grandma Gish was still living, but at Brandon Woods and failing. She was so sweet to do that! Maybe Margaret and Grandma are in heaven going to the Dollar Tree!!
I remember Margaret and Leo camping at Pomona, too!
With love, Rick and Lorie
We are so sorry for your loss!
