To the Woefel family,

My sympathies for your loss. Reflecting on the good, Wendy gave life to 3 children, God,s greatest gift.
Wendy was generous in ways that she knew how to be.

I remember Wendy's gifted academic ability, her beautiful singing voice; her ability to write. Her love of her family, and friends. As a Christian, I believe Wendy is in a better place. Rest in peace.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry to learn of Wendy's death. She was very fortunate to have your love and support throughout her life. Wendy taught me how to fish and to crab just outside your house on Back Creek. I treasure those memories of her, and will always remember her adventurous spirit, and love of nature. God Bless you all.
