I have missed the church dinners since Wanda and her side-kick Clara retired, but Wanda was still in the kitchen doing something. To the Family: I am so sorry for Your Loss.

Deb & I are saddened to hear of this news but she is in a much better place now and healthy again but surely will be missed. She couldn't have had two better people taking care of her than Jack and Wendy, always looking out for her and taking such good care of her, we will miss seeing her in church.

God Bless.....
