Dear Gib and Marilyn, brothers, husband and "special gift" - children,

Please accept our deepest condolences at losing such a sweet spirit. Giband Marilyn, I only met Wendi about ten times, but she was such a sweet, young girl and lady. I know you miss her more than words can say. I know what you had to face. Watching a disease take her from you all and all you could do was pray, help, be there for her. I guess that is how I felt about my Steve. There was nothing either of us could do. It was out of our control. However, I do find comfort in the fact that they are in a better place, no longer in pain, and watching over us all. The pain doesn't necessarily go away. Every now and then you see something that brings back such wonderful memories, that your breaks all over again. It does get better, but never really goes away.

After working with Gib for ten years and getting to know this family, call if you just need to talk. It helps.

Enjoy the wonderful grandchildren, who now become such special, loved little individuals. They will along with Rob all need your support and love.

Love always,
Judy and Larry Thorum

My heart goes out to you Rob, and to Steven and Lilly.

I met Wendi when we lived in Idaho Falls and we hit it off from the beginning. We both graduated the same year from different High Schools in Utah. And we were both self proclaimed "east side snobs". I'm thankful for the friendship I made with her. She will be very missed...

I had the privilege of working with Wendi at Cottonwood hospital, from the time she started as a CNA to the time she graduated as a RN. She was a devoted nurse, daughter, mother and wife. My thoughts and prayers go to her family. She was truly a blessing in many people's lives.

Dear Stevensons,
Our most heartfelt condolences! It's always hard to lose a loved one, and so much more so when it's far too early. I pray the gospel will bring you much peace and comfort at this time. Please know you're in my prayers.

I was lucky enough to meet Wendi many years ago at Cottonwood Hospital where she was my CNA. I watched her finish school and become a great Nurse. She was always so nice and helpful to the patients and a pleasure to us all. Most important Wendi became my friend and that has never changed. She was truly a inspiration and role model for her kids and all those who knew her. I am deeply sorry for Rob, Steven, Lily and the rest of her family. She will be missed by many.

With Love and Fiendship,
Lori Allen

I worked with Wendi at Cottonwood Hospital and have such fond memories of her. She helped me as a new nurse and was always so patient and willing to help. I remember what a great mom she was and how much she loved her two young children. She was a great example to me and although I haven't spoken to her in many years, I will miss her.

Dear Rob, Steven and Lily,
A flame has gone out, but the light from that candle will burn forever in my heart and memory. Wendi brought richness to my life with her smile, bright happy spirit and the undaunting attitude she had. I feel very blessed to have met Wendi and continued to have a friendship with her. Your loss is great and I send my love, prayers and thanks for shariing Wendi with myself and the other women at the Women Beyond Cancer group
Love, peace and prayers

To Wendi's Dear Family;
Today I had many thoughts of Wendi run through my head. Times of laughter and joy. I thought of times that I was so scared to be going down her BIG slide but I felt so safe because I watched her go down it first. I remembered times of going to church and thinking I wouldn’t know anyone, and Wendi would always have a place for me to sit next to her. I thought of how nice it was always seeing her smiling face and hearing her sweet “Hi” as we would pass in the hall at school. Wendi was always such a great example to me.
I lost my Mother at a young age. It is friends like Wendi and the Stevenson Family that helped me through many hard times as a child. I pray that Steven and Lilly will be as blessed as I am to have such great friends as Wendi and her family are to me. I am proud to say, that I know as well as you, All is well, and you will be with Wendy again.
All my love,
Jodi Wahlen Turgeon

I wanted to express my condolences to all of Wendi's family. I grew up with Wendi and have many fond memories with her, especially in our young woman years. What I will remember most about Wendi is her kindness and warmth. She was a friend to everyone. And she had such a GREAT smile! My parents have kept me informed throughout her battle with cancer and I was so disappointed I could not attend the special enrichment night when she spoke in their ward, I heard that she was incredible. What a remarkable woman she became. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I just wanted to let Rob and the kids know how sorry I am. Wendy was an awesome person. When I was Wendy's visiting teacher she was the one doing the teaching. I am thankful for her influence in my life. It was so obvious the joy her family brought to her. May the Lord bring peace and comfort to you all. Love, Londyn Nelson
