Wendy and I were young when we were together, bumbling erratically through life and love, trying to find our way. Our paths ultimately diverged, but Wendy figures prominently in some of my best memories, and I will always be grateful for the good times we shared. Her vivacious spirit, disarming smile, and easy laughter brightened the world and it is darker now for her passing too soon. Her family and friends will be in my prayers.

I remember Wendy from Elementary school. She attended middle school as well. Even though she has been away from the state of Wisconsin for tweny years, I've always thought of her as being a strong healthy young woman, so it's a shock to hear that she's been really really sick, I have no clue as to what CANCER she had at such an early age. As I was told from the preist in church every other week, you never know how long we will live or what will happen to us in the future. In this case it was very sad day for her.

Thoughts and prayers to Wendy's family and friends. I met Wendy in middle school and we had many good times that I will forever cherish. Wendy was such a sweet person, I will never forget her and her beautiful smile. May her loved ones find comfort in knowing they now have an angel to watch over them forever and always.

I am unable to attend the memorial service for Wendy at Stritch St. Francis Chapel, but I offer sympathy to her parents and friends. I did not know her, but I'm impressed with her obituary and photo. I'm hoping she had happy years and memories before her final illness.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I am deeply saddened to hear of Wendy's passing. I have so many great memories of Wendy from high school, some of which I still share with others today. I will always remember her smile and how her laugh could fill the room. Peace be with you.

We lost touch but Wendy was never far from my mind. She was my best friend and cohort in high scool. She was a caring and wonderful friend and I will miss her always. Save me a seat next to you at the concerts in Heaven, my friend.

I knew Wendy in high school and collage, she was beautiful and smart and I loved her like young people do, like it would last forever, I think the world just got a little more melancholy with her passing, we'll I know my world did. Farewell my elf princess I hope to see you again in another place and time.
