I was so sorry to hear of Mrs U's passing. I will always remember her for her wonderful brownies and her great smile. She always liked the family gatherings. We will miss her.

Our deepest thoughts and prayers for the loss of Mrs. U. Our parents appreciated Mr. and Mrs. U so much, especially at family events and for taking care of their 6 angels when they went away on vacation. We will always remember Mrs. U.'s brownies--- extra chocolate and lots of nuts. The brownies were internationally famous! We were lucky to have Mrs. U. to be part of our lives and thankful she is in peace.

My dad Jim McMahon was my 'Aunt Wanda's' nephew. I hadn't seen Aunt Wanda for probably 30 years, then about 10 years ago we started getting together once a year with Wanda, Marilyn, and Doug for lunch. That's when I learned how amazing Wanda was. She had the best outlook on life, and her sense of humor was great. I can only hope that if I live to be 100 that I could be the class act my Aunt Wanda was. I will remember her with great fondness always.
