I remember Mrs. Sinnes from Buncombe County Sheriff’s Dept. events in the 70s. She was always there with her Husband Bill and young son Chris. I am sorry for your loss.
Mrs. Sinnes baked the best cookies and was always sharing with Buncombe County Sheriff’s Department years ago. She was a lovely lady whom I had a great deal of respect for. I’m very sorry for your loss.
