Wendy attended my Zumba classes from time to time and always came to any fund raising events I held..especially my Party in Pink events that were for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Most of the local instructors knew her because she would visit our classes and seemed to like them all equally. I didn't know her well, but she definitely made a lasting impression on me and I'll never forget her smile. She was such a fighter with a positive attitude that I thought she was going to beat cancer! I didn't realize she was failing until it was too late. I attended her funeral today and didn't have a chance to express my condolences to her sister and brother in law, but I truly am sad at her passing. Dance on, Wendy!
