Nana Wanda gave me unconditional love and was a huge influence in my life. We had so many good times, I will miss her crazy stories about growing up in Exeter. About Lloyd and "the boys". About my Dad. She could talk at length about he grandchildren, eyes twinkling and giggling. She was a smart, beautiful, funny woman who loved her family and community.

May you soar in the heavens amongst the angels. It was a privilege and an honor to become a student of real estate with Wanda as my mentor that lead to becoming a forever friend. You will be missed beautiful lady.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
