Hermana Kimball siempre te recordaremos como una de las mejores misioneras que tuvimos sirviendo en la rama a la que llegaste a servir tu mision,la Rama Valencia la cual se estaba formando y en la cual tu serviste con amor y dedicacion, siempre recordare las infinitas veces que fuiste a mi casa para comer o solo para visitarnos, me dolio mucho saber que falleciste, mas sin embargo tengo el testimonio de que volveremos a vernos y algun dia la volvere a ver. Siempre, la recordaremos y apreciamos el gran trabajo que hizo en la rama Valencia junto a la hermana Machado.Que nuestro Padre Celestial les bendiga! Yo se que El y su hijo Jesucristo cuidara de tus hermosos hijos y de tu esposo,hasta pronto Hermana Kimball! Te amamos!

I was so grateful to attend the funeral services. They were beautiful. I was sad that I hadn't connected to Wendy earlier. We were MTC Companions and after the MTC and a couple letters on the mission, went our separate ways. I have been living in California for the last 6 years and only recently did we move here to Utah. I didn't realize how close I was to maybe seeing her again until I read that she worked as a L&D nurse at the Riverton Hospital. In January I delivered a 2nd Trimester Miscarriage at the same hospital. How I would have LOVED to see her again in person. Her cousin Tyler Kimball married one of my best friends, Heather Kimball and over the years I have kept tabs on Wendy through Heather. Wendy was a beautiful person in every way. For the 3 months we spent in the MTC together, it was never doubted that she had a strong testimony and made everything and everyone that much happier. She drew people to her because she was always full of light and love. I feel so honored that I got to be around her and learn from her. My prayers go out to her family and I know that she is still very much involved in your day to day lives.
I love you Hermana Kimball! Hermana Weiss

Denny, I am so sorry for your loss! I had the oppertunity to teach with her in Primary and teach Dallin when you lived in the Buchi's basement in South Jordan! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wonderful family at this time of great sorrow!

Mack and Kimball Families ~ Rarely am I at a loss for words...but I am right now; nonetheless I feel I must at least send a simple hug and let you know of the WHOLE-hearted prayers I send heavenward. This event will stay with me probably the rest of my life. You haven't met me nor am I privileged to know you, but you have touched me deeply.
My dear friend Katie Call told me about you today while she was doing a kind service which she does for me weekly. When she left I got on line to find Wendy/Maylee's obituary. My daughters are young mothers...oh, oh, oh, oh, oh there just are no words. What a penetrating and poignant reminder your experience renders to all who have and yet will hear of it: we so need to cherish life and love and those we share it with; we so need to fortify our faith in the truism of God's love, His wisdom, and His awareness of our every need. May you each be encircled in His arms of love, and may those heavenly hugs give you comfort and strength and peace every waking and sleeping moment.

Dear Mack Family,
Although I do not know you, I wanted to send you my condolences. I heard about your precious wife and daughter, shortly after giving birth to my own son last week. It hit so close to home for me. My heart breaks for the loss of your wife and mother. I cannot imagine the pain of your loss. My thoughts & prayers are with you all.

Denny(Dr.Mack),
I wanted to know how much I was touched by the funeral of Wendy. You have a wonderful testimony and was impressed by your words. I am grateful I was able to know you for the little time you were my instructor at Fortis College. I feel it was a blessing to be able to know you and come to the funeral to be uplifted. Good luck in your endeavors and may you continue to be strong through this difficult time. You and your family are in my prayers.

I worked with Wendy at Timpanogos Hospital years ago. I remember her talking about Denny and saying all these wonderful, nice things that they would do for each other and I thought, wow, they must have a really special relationship. The nurses at Timp remember her dearly. We have talked and cried about what a special person she is. Denny, she WILL continue to care for you from across the veil. You will see those "wonderful, nice things" that are not explained any other way. My prayers are with the entire Mack Kimball family.

I did not know Wendy even though I did serve in the Arizona Tucson mission from 1998-2000. One of my former companions sent me the links to read and have my heart deeply and forever touched by the recorded memories on Denny and Wendy's blog. I read about Wendy and Maylee after seeing the two pictures and then read about the other three children and looked at their photos more closely. I hurt with you and I don't know you. But I do know the pain of losing a family member, and I do have some anxieties that I strive to give to Heavenly Father because I lived through divorce and I'm raising 2 children with Heavenly Father's help...I cannot imagine losing either of my children. I am aching and tears on my face, however I feel so good in the spirit when I read Denny's accounts. When I read some of the guest book wishes and greetings, I am even more convinced that Wendy IS everything you have said she IS. She lives, just in Spirit, and you will be reunited with her in Spirit and in Body, as well as with Maylee and your other children. Hold onto that, and let that truth be what helps you make decisions in your life. Thank you so much for sharing about these precious souls. I wish every man could be blessed to marry a woman like you did, Denny. And I wish every woman, myself included, could be such a person as Wendy. To have so many people love and be affected and influenced by her is a great gift and blessing.

I do not know you but I am so grateful for the opportunity to have read your touching blog and tribute to you wife. I literaly wept like a baby. Your words will have a lasting impression upon me and I thank you for sharing.
I will keep you and your little family in my prayers...and I will be a better husband and father after having read your account. I suppose from the other things I read on this board that I am one of many who have been blessed by your beautiful family. May God be with you in your time of need.

Laura, Julie, Nate, Brian, David, Danny, Lee, Karen, and Denny (whom I have never met) There are been moments in my life when my heart has truly broken. There are no words to the anguish of your bereavement of the loss of such a wonderful sister, daughter and wife. My tears have made my heart very heavy this last week and little times goes through out the day when I don't think about some special memories with the Kimball family. Denny, I don't know you, but that tribute was very tender and special.
After a loss in my own life, a very wise person told me that it's moments like this that those who are close with their Heavenly Father become even more closer. All of you are an inspiration to me in my faith, and devotion to my family, my wife and my little girl.
May the Prince of Peace grant you that comfort that you need and administer those angels to you side.
Your Brother~

Dear Kimball Family,
I remember working with Wendy on a few Stake YW activities years ago when we were all one Stake. Once you met her, you never forgot her- she had a contagious smile, an infectious way of making you laugh and those bright sparkling eyes. She was beautiful in every way. Heaven is surely blessed to have her and Maylee there dancing!
Our prayers are with you, Denny and your children as you move forward one foot in front of the other as you try to find your way. Heavenly Father will be there with you along with Wendy and Maylee. We are so grateful for the Plan of Salvation and Eternal Families.

We are praying for you Denny. We love your family so much. You are a wonderful father. I loved getting to know your family. Wendy is such a fun person with the most welcoming personality. Heavenly Father loves you and your family so much. The boys have been praying for Dallin's family ever since we heard the news. Wendy will be missed very much.

I have known Bishop & Karen Kimball for some time now. My prayers of comfort and love go out to all of those hurting because of this great loss.
I am so sad for the loss of Wendy, yet so excited for the journey she is on now with little Maylee by her side. Wendy is so much like her Mother Karen, always smiling and sharing herself with others.
It has been a great privilege to know the Kimball family. They are ALL amazing people who touch those they come into contact with. Love and miss you all very much!

I briefly had the opportunity to work with Wendy at the Riverton hospital. She was so kind to me and even came back to the hospital after her shift to help me out with a difficult situation. What a wonderful person and nurse. My thoughts and prayers are with your sweet family during this very difficult time.

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit teach wendy and karen while they were living together at the kimball home 2 years ago. I was pregnant the same time as wendy with her 3rd and was in awe of what a darling pregnant woman she was and the smile she always had on her face. Much like her mother she had the ability to leave a great impression on me in the few visits we shared. The many hosts of heaven are lucky to have her and her sweet daughter now.

Dear Wendy,
Goodness Maylee looks just like you did when you were a baby with the little tongue out. I still can see your newborn face on Grandma's calendar for 1978. I look at your picture now and you still are very much alive in my eyes. I can still hear your voice, hear your distinct laugh, see your beautiful smile, admire your ever curly eyelashes, feel your STRONG hugs, and just last week I was thinking about how you did Kenna's hair a certain way. . .Congratulations Wendy on this Graduation, and on a life of success. You ARE a successful missionary, a successful student, a successful daughter, a successful wife, and most successful mother. You still are all these things, and will be forever. Nodody however has an answer for how much we will miss you. I love you Wendy.

I am deeply saddened to have lost another wonderful childhood friend. Wendy exemplified the light of Christ her entire life and I feel honored to have known her. Wendy could make you laugh until your stomach hurt and she was a friend to everyone she met. I will forever appreciate her kindness and example to me. She will truly be missed.

I'm not sure if Wendy would really remember me, but she was a tremendous example to me. She was an amazing example of goodness, gentleness, and acceptance. Wendy brought joy and happiness with her amazing smile. I was lucky to grown up with her in young women. She really had a powerful influence on me. I am so sorry for your loss.
