Very few friends are "friends for life," but Wanda was. I'm thinking of all the happy memories, especially of the times Bob and I spent with Wanda and Ernie. My prayers are with the family who loved her. She loved you supremely and was so proud of every one of you. Barbara Fredricks

Such a loving, wonderful lady that will be missed greatly. Beautiful duets she and Helen sang in Riverside Methodist Church. My thoughts and Prayers of Peace and Comfort to Ernie, Chuck, Dena, and Jay as you move on without this loving, strong woman. Also to Helen, Beryl and their family..loosing their sister/aunt, a side-kick, is difficult. God will see you through. "Until we meet again at Jesus feet, God be with you 'til we meet again". Love to you all, Vernon Lambert, Shari Lambert-McCampbell, Suzanne Lambert-Chambers...Riverside United Methodist Church Family Members.
