Wanda will be missed dearly. I always remember her beautiful calligraphy and how i wished I could duplicate it. My dad always had a kind word about her when he talked about going to board meetings and visiting Mr. Reeves.

I will always have fond memories of Wanda. I really regret not keeping in touch with her over the years. She was a very special lady. I think of her soulful laugh each time I see a special Christmas gift from years ago...a piece of her beautiful calligraphy.

I have many fond memories of Wanda. During my middle school years @ Wayside, I would walk over to the administration building after school. After saying hi to my Dad, I would make a beeline for Wanda's office. She always greeted me with kind words and a smile! My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
