Aunt Waneta was one of the most selfless, giving, and caring people that we have had the privilege to know. She was also a lot of fun when we were kids-we had an ongoing game of tag every time we were together that I am sure no one else remembers. Even though we haven't seen her often over the years, she will still be deeply missed. Our deepest condolences to Cindy, Denny and all of the extended family. Jill, Charlie, Josh, Jenny, Ian and Miette
