Bonnie and Vickie,
I was so sorry to hear about Wendi. I have not seen her probably since she was in high school. But I have seen her beautiful face many times in realtor advertisements. I was so happy to see she was doing so well. I know from our visiting (oops working) both your girls are so important to you. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you both and your families.

I worked with Wendi when her hard work has a realtor was about to make her client(s) very happy as their purchase of a new home or acting on behalf of the seller was about to finally close. Wendi was always so helpful when something came up at the last minute regarding the closing. She was professional and very thoughtful of her clients. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Wendi did have a beautiful smile and I can only imagine how very much you will all miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin to pick up the pieces.

We are so saddened to hear of Wendi´s death. We knew her fairly well, because she had listed our house. She was so friendly and a very good and honest realtor. May her soul rest in peace, and may Wendi´s daughter be comforted in her grief. She spoke so highly and lovingly of her daughter.
