So sorry Dave....I know she is happier now reaching her final goal. The selfless lives you both lived is a true testimony to us all. May God comfort and guide you and your family. Your fellow student.....Tom Stewart

Wendi will surely be missed. I worked with her at the Elmira Psychiatric Center and she was such a nice lady. The one thing that sticks out in my mind is that she had the nicest handwriting.
My sympathy to her family...she spoke of you all with such love.
