To Wendy's family, especially brothers Fred and John Horn...your beautiful sister Wendy will always live in my memory, a summertime girl with a smile that could outshine the summer sun. Sincere sympathy from Sandra (Kucenski) Willmott

Wendy was a amazing human being, also had a funny story to tell and always smiling, she is at peace now, I knew her from clinipad and always talking to her in the stores, never once did she not smile.
I felt so sorry to find out all the pain and sickness she had gone through.

I worked with Wendy at Clinipad. I remember her walking through the hallways with an ever present smile and always with a story to share.

May you find God's peace..

I met Wendy at a support group for Cancer patients and their caregivers. Despite her serious prognosis and rounds of different treatments, she was always courageous, hopeful, never complained, had a smile on her face and was determined to forge ahead. Not only did she display enormous personal strength, she also supported and inspired all of us. She will be dearly missed.....

I knew Wendy in the Clinipad days and she was always ready with a smile in spite of the day she was having. I am very sorry to hear that she struggled but not surprised that she fought hard. She is now at peace and will be remembered fondly.

How does one say "Good-bye" to a wonderful friend, indeed a "sister," when her amazing spirit has been a gift? With her strength and humor, despite all that life's challenges brought, she will remain ever in my heart. Love, forever, Jude Hersey

How does one say "Good-bye" to one of the most wonderful friends, and indeed, a "sister," when the world seems diminished by her passing? Shine with the stars and angels, dear Wendy.
Love, as ever, Jude Hersey

"Grandma Wendy" - we miss you already but are glad you are no longer in any pain. You fought long and hard with this nasty disease and I know you are at peace now. Thanks Kevin for meeting Laurie and bringing Wendy into our lives.

I will miss my best friend who I loved so much.
My heart is broken, however, I did not want her to suffer any more. Not many people can say they have or had such a loving caring friend like Wendy
We will meet again.
Love,
Sue Pappas
