Tributes & Memories
I will always have fond memories of my aunt, Cherokee Wynona. One day, I asked about her nickname as a youth. She looked me straight in the eye and proclaimed, "They call me Queenie!" Her determination, kindness, and humor will alway be remembered and passed on through all the lives she touched, especially mine.
