I am thankful for a peaceful passing and that she is no longer in pain. She can rejoin all her loved ones in heaven now.
Sure gonna miss that gal. A stubborn spitfire, from a teenager to the very end. May Heaven have a comfy casino seat for her. Thankful for her in my life.
Wanda was an angel on earth! We met her at church during a Bible study while she watched the kids. She was amazing! She then helped watch our son Sammy & treated him like he was her family. She made the world a better place.
