My heart goes out to ALL my cousins and my Aunt for the loss of Wendy. I was 9 years old when Wendy was born. I got to watch her grow up till we all grew up and moved away from one another. She was always the motherly type. And she loved and adored her daughters and her husband. She was a very special lady!

I worked with Wendy at SVA in the HR dept. I wanted to reach out to her family to say what a great lady Wendy was. I remember her telling me stories of Oreo and her honeymoon, when they didn't take the plane tickets with them. Wishing your family to hang on to those great memories you made with her. God bless.

Many of my high school memories include Wendy. And how would we have survived the early years of parenthood without that card club? Wendy was a sweet and kind soul who was quick with a smile. Thinking of you all at this time.
