Carol and Family,
I wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss. I see Lori has already left a message for you. You and Wendell made such an impact on both her and John's life. How well I remember those days we lived on Travis Lane and all the fun we had with you and the Lutz's. So many good memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care and God Bless

Dear Carol and Family,
I always admired your husband and father.
Some people go through life and leave nothing, others make lasting and memorable contributions to the world. Wendell was one who touched so many and left a wonderful legacy of service to science and education.
Wendell I celebrate your life and am so glad I had a chance to know you. You will be missed by so many.

Dear Carol and Maria,
I was so sorry to hear about Wendell. Carol, Marsha and I were so happy to have spent some time with you both at the '74 SMNW class reunion just several weeks ago. We thought that these reunions would become a tradition, rather than a special memory...It is a tribute to Wendell that after 30 years, his students still remember the impact he had on their lives...He will truly be missed...

Mr. Mohling was my Student Naturalist teacher at SMNW in 1986. He was a remarkable man who had an amazing love of the world around him. He was "the" teacher one remembers from their days in school. His passion was evident not only in his indoor classroom, but his ourdoor labs, greenhouse and trips. I always delighted when I got a chance to chat with him a few times after high school. Always warm and attentive to his students he always took the time give advise/help when asked. The world is truly an emptier place without him. To the Mohling Family - you are in my prayers.

To the Family of Dr. Mohling,
Dr. Mohling will be missed by this world. As an instructor at Shawnee Mission Northwest during the 70's, he inspired my sisters and I, and even my mother (she was a school bus driver and a volunteer "fixture" at the school) to get involved in environmental issues and care about what happens to this tiny planet that we occupy. I remember the "pond" aquarium in his classroom that contained "pond stuff"...lots of local fauna...things that as a kid you just take for granted that ponds, creeks, etc are "just" around...you never really think that there are living creatures inside that are fighting for an existance just like we are. When your family started the conservation park in Kansas, that, too, inspired our family into getting involved in "sanctuaries" such as Best Friends in Utah, etc. Dr. Mohling was a great educator and his commitment to this world be will be missed by all.
Love,
Debbie Carr, Cheryl Babcock, and Kathy (Babcock)Taylor

Carol and Family,
I wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss. I remember you and Wendell as the "most awesome" adults I knew when I was a grade schooler. You were friends with my parents, Jack and Kay Kelsh. We lived down the street from you on Travis Lane -- seems like a lifetime ago. You were both always so good to my brother John and I. Do you remember going camping with us? I remember your Volkswagon "bus". We thought it was so cool. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
God Bless
