Michael, Jemaine, & Erica...you all have been so wonderful as to the care, patience, and love you have given to your mom during her sickness and difficult times. She was truly blessed to have such a wonderful support of family love and support surrounding her. You all are an excellent example of what can be done in a stressful situation of pulling strength together. Also, always in the picture of the family's strength is Erin, always positive, smiling and knowledgeable on how to get things done. May you all have many blessings from Jehovah as the family heals from loss. Wanda will be deeply missed. Please know that our prayers and love are with you even though we could not be with you physically. Much love to you from Texas....Auntie Phyllis, and your cousins - Acacia, Kaylina, and Natasha

Mikey, Jermaine, and Erica,
I was saddend to have read of your Mom's passing Friday evening while reading the paper. I regret we didn't find out earlier, as we would've like to attend services for your Mom. Your mom was a great person, and we are truly sorry for your loss. I remember spending the night at your house when you guys first moved from Hillcrest. Erica it was your birthday(if my memory serves me correctly )and your mom turned me on to Peppermint and Birthday Cake Icecream. Those were the good times. Our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. We love Ya! Your old Hillcrest Family- Lisa, Talia, and Renee.

Wanda was a very good friend to me in High School and the times we shared are very precious. Every morning I picked her up for school and she always had that beautiful smile. She will always have a special place in my heart. My sincere sympathy to her family.
