David and Norma, Rex and sons. Hearts break losing a loved one. Wanda fought so hard and tried her best to beat this disease called Cancer. We are so sorry that your family has to endure such a loss.Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you who loved her so much. A daughter, a sister, a mom, a friend, so difficult to let go. Her love and her memories can never be taken away, they will remain with you forever. May you continue to feel Gods love wrap tightly around you as you walk this chapter of grief and loss.
Much Love Glenn and CindyLou Romberg

On this sad day I want to say that Wanda was a very dear friend of mine during some of the hardest times of my life, my teenage years. She was like a younger sister but also a great friend. She was a joy to be around. We laughed and cried together many a time. I know she is now in a better place. I feel that she is now waiting with open arms for her family and friends to join her when their time comes.
Norma, David and Rex, know that I am thinking of you on this sad day and am sending you all plus her children my love and best wishes.
