Linda: No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I know how special your mom was to you from our old days in Vital Records.

I worked with Wanda in the mid 1970's at Social Services. It was only for a short time, but for several years after, we continued to correspond at Christmas. Later we lost touch, but I continued to think of her each year when I sent cards. She was a wonderful, sweet, caring person, and will be missed by everyone whose lives she touched.
