To Yvonne and the Crowder family, you are in my thoughts and Prayers. Wendell, sleep on and take your rest, Yvonne and your family loved you, but God loved you best! Now, all you have to do is, "Walk Around Heaven All Day" until the rest of us get there!!

To The Family of Wendell. My heart and prayers are with you all. Wendell is a great guy!. Sometimes we would laugh and talked about our army days. He would have me laughing & crying at the same time. Hold on to GOD's UNCHANGING HANDS; HE will see you through. May GOD continue to bless and keep you! Sergeant Yarbee

Wendell was always kind and gentlemanly when we worked together over the past few years. He would always smile and express sincere concern for how things were going when we would see each other around the office. He was a true asset to the NHTSA family and will be missed. Praying for Wendell's family and friends during this very difficult time.
