Our deepest sympathy on the loss of Dinkie. We will remember her as a friend and coworker for the many unselfish things she did.
When I came to work at Haynes Wire, Dinkie helped me acclimate so much. She was a pleasure to work with but more importantly, she became the most loving, kind hearted and wonderful friend that I could ever have. She will be missed by many because she was loved by all.
Dinkie, I will never forget you. You brought joy and love into all of our hearts.
I will never forget what a friend you have been for me. Too much time has passed since I saw you last, and I am saddened that I didn't make more of an effort to make that happen. Have a wonderful journey and I will see you on the other side. May God bless you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Eugenia was a great friend when we were in High School together. I spent a lot of time at your house with her and Donna.I have missed them both since then. This world has lost a very special lady.
May the ìGod of all comfortî provide you and your family with peace and comfort during this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3:-7)
