We will always remember Wanda’s kindness in welcoming her “new neighbors” and her eagerness to help. We know that she will continue to watch over her family and friends from above. May the family find comfort knowing that Wanda is remembered with love by the many hearts that she has touched.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
Love you Kelly!
