Don,Rich and family: We are greatly saddened by Wanda's passing. Our hearts go out to all of you. Words are terrible inadequate at times like this but it was an honor to have known this lovely gracious lady with such a big heart. The world was a much better place for having had her in it. It was a pleasure to be a guest i n her home. Wanda welcomed our daughter into her family accepting her as she was and gave her unconditional love for that we were most grateful. We have been proud to share two lovely grandchildren with her and one step-grandson. We will keep all of you close in prayer.

I wanted to send my condolences to Wanda's family. I too, know the feeling of loss. It is never easy to have part with our loved ones. The world can seem like a very cold and difficult place. After every rain storm though, there is sun light. Our Creator provides us with a beautiful promise at Revelation 21:3,4. He promises us of a time when the distresses of this world will be a thing of past. I hope that those verses will bring you comfort and hope.
