Wanda would do anything to help someone she cared about. Once I had a broken foot and wrist and she offered to come to my house and do anything needed.....cook, clean, laundry. But, I can visualize Heaven with her there....what joy for her and all her family and many friends. God bless her family. Elaine House Wood

To Wanda's family,
As others have said, Wanda was a bright spot at Short Sugars! My dad who had Alzheimers just loved her! She would joke with him and he would always laugh. Not something he regularly did. After his death, she sent mom a card and continued to ask each of us how mom was doing. Amazing how a casual acquaintance could give so much joy. May God strengthen you all during these difficult days!

Dear Sam,
We've ALL lost someone VERY SPECIAL! You were blessed to have had each other for all these years. You'll never know just how much Wanda and you meant to me during a time when I so desperately needed your help and friendship. I will never forget Wanda ~ ever. She was one of the most loving, caring and giving people I've ever known. If Frank and I can do anything to help, please call on us, Sam. You do not have to face this alone. Friends and family will stand with you. And, Sam, GOD can and will comfort you. Just reach for His hand.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Rachel Scearce Dabney and Frank Dabney
