Wanda was my cousin. Her father, John, was my mother's older brother. My most vivid memories of her in St. Petersburg were of her with her horse, Cracker Boy. When I was 8, her family moved to Bradenton, and my family moved into the house they left. Billie and I inherited her and Bonnie's bedroom. One of the walls was covered with wallpaper that had horses on it.
My second vivid memory of her was her beautiful wedding when I was 12. To me it was like a fairytale.
May God give peace to her children and grandchildren.

So many wonderful memories living and growing up next to my cousin Wanda and her family. She used to saddle the horses for Robin and I. Never could get the saddle tight enough. So comforting to know your loved one is is living in the presence of Christ from one who knows. Emmett Hood

Wanda was always so sweet and loved by everyone. I ran across this picture recently of Wanda as flower girl in my parents wedding (Uncle Gene and Aunt Helen).
To her family: my thoughts and prayers are with you.
