I am so sorry about Wandemas passing. She was a friend of mine the year I graduated in 1951. She used to drive a group of us girls around in her little Voltzwagon. She was a very sweet person and would do anything for you. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear that Wandema has passed away. She was of most kind hearted people I have ever known. She suffered so much in life with losing all three of her sons. Her faith was strong and kept her going. I enjoyed knowing her very much.

My sweet amazing great Aunt Wandema.. Although my heart is hurting that you are gone from this world I can't help but to picture Gami, Stacey, your children, elephant and Phyllis standing at those pearly gates as you entered heaven. I can just see them smiling and laughing that you are home forever with them and God. There was never a dull moment with you around. I can remember going in your house as a little girl and getting pecans.. we would always sit down together and crack them. I can also remember when you would walk into Gami's house with a big smile on your face.. greeting us all with a hug. Last time I seen you my babies were playing on the floor and you kept telling them how adorable and big they've gotten. You were always on the go lol Your heart is pure gold. Me, Kenzley, Zayden, Everley and Wrenley love you so much Aunt Wandema. Kiss Gami for me and wait for me at those pearly gates!!!
