I send my prayers and thoughts to all Winston’s family. He was a very special young man, I really enjoyed our conversations when I did see him. He was friends with my daughter Tina Minden . Please know that my prayers are being said to you. I know since losing my daughter how hard it is to try to learn to live without them. God be with you in the coming months and years.
God bless all of you..
Sorry to hear about your son’s death.
