We got to Swartz a little after 8. We knew visitation ended. We were greeted at the door by John and Maureen. We apologized for coming in late. Santana had a swim meet that just got over and one tomorrow. They both were very happy to meet Wanda's sweet friend Santana. They told him she always spoke highly of him. Swartz directors were kind enough to turn the lights back on and let Santana tell his good friend good-bye. God made this happen. He talked to her and thanked God for Wanda...

Wanda was something special. Every conversation started with "honey" (probably for everyone, but she always made me fee good). She had a sweet, gentle spirit and a kind heart. She invested so many hours giving of her time to the church to decorate the sanctuary, go to trustee meetings, or improve the church. When she wasn't doing any of that, she was encouraging someone with a Hallmark card. I know she has a special mansion reserved for her in heaven and she has reunited with Frank.
