Mrs. Eleanor and Vern, I was so saddened when I read about Wanda Friday night. By then it was too late to come to the homegoing. She will forever be in my heart. The Lord will guide you through it all. I am here if you need comfort. My # is 319-6971.
Love, Faye Newsome

Wanda was a very good friend and I have known her since High School at John F. Kennedy. Everytime you saw her she was always happy and full of life, she will be missed by all who knew her, because she would always brighten your day.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need, and if there is anything I can do please let me know.
