Wendy, you and your family are foremost in our thoughts and prayers. We did not have the opportunity to meet your Mom, but she surely must have been a wonderful woman to have a daughter such as you.

Oh, you all are in my thoughts. I remember Mrs. Hustad (Wendy's Mom to me) as such a nice lady when I was a little girl and I'd come over to play. She was kind to me and I've only ever heard wonderful things about her from others, as well. May her memory be for a blessing.

Dearest Wendy-

I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I cannot begin to understand the pain you and your family must be feeling.

Your mother was a woman whose greatness can be seen in her children. You and your brother are so secure and successful, which is a true testament to the good person she was.

Much love and hugs.

Thank you Mom for everything you did. You were always there for me when I needed you, and there when you knew I needed guidance not to do something wrong. We will always remember you when the wild flowers are in bloom, and every rainbow we see, we will know you are smiling down on us from above.

I worked for Guelda at Medtronic, in Tempe, and she was a wonderful, sweet lady. I recently asked her if I could list her as a reference, and she said, " I would be proud." I was so touched by that, It made ME the proud one to have known her. She loved her family so much. She was very proud of Bryce and ALL of her family. I pray she rest in peace and I know she will always watch over her family.
