Wendy was a Treasure. I also admired her. I spent a lot of hours spent (across the street) at her (Folks') house. She was my special "pal" in Kindergarden. I wanted to be just like Wendy, especially to wear just what she wore.
Wendy was like a Bright Star, a guiding one, and I will always think of her and remember her...the way I always have. (Our family) were all real sick real bad and are, so we didn't make the visitation regrettably...that was also a loss. May God bless you and bring comfort to your heart and healing to your spirit and souls!

We are all still so numb about the loss of our dear friend and colleague Wendy. She was such an inspiration to all of us and will be dearly missed and thought of often. I worked with Wendy as a discharge coordinator for several years. She not only was an awesome nurse, but an awesome person as well! She was the type of person that could make you laugh and cry all at the same time. The last time I spoke with her was about five weeks ago after our twelve hour Sunday night shifts. We were both tired, but wanted to chat for a bit and catch up as we had not talked for a few months, because life just gets busy and you lose track of time and before you know it, it turns into months since your previous conversation! I am so thankful, that we had this time by ourselves to catch up and see how each other was doing. As our visit was ending, we hugged and promised to try and keep in touch more often. Never would I have imagined, this would be my very last conversation with her, nor would I have thought that this would be the last time that I would ever see her again. We have lost a special person, one that was so caring and concerned about others over herself. Rest in peace Wendy and know that we all are better for having known you and for having you in our lives. We will miss you always and think of you often!

Wendy is my friend. We shared our grade school and middle school years together. We both loved each others wit and humor and The Beatles. Eight grade was the cumulation of every thing we hoped to accomplish in our lives up to that time. We won 1st place in the school middle show using our humor that was a parade of the "Today Show", called "Yesterday". I really think now that we had a jump on SNL with that show. And we got to see the Beatles together in Chicago. The year was 1966 and we traveled with Bob Barry from WOKY radio and other fans on a school bus to see our idols. As the last song was being sung we left our seats and headed to a stairway we knew the Fab Four would be exiting though( at least hoped). We opened the door and ran down a flight of stairs and there they were. Wendy reached out and touched John and I touched Paul. After going to see the Beatles 2 movies played back to back at a local movie threatre 34 times our dreams came true. What else could have been better when you were 14. To share this memory with Wendy just makes it all the better.
Wendy was at our wedding which of course included Beatle music in the ceremony and her comment was "loved the music". She gave us a Jade plant and I thought what the what? It took me awhile to understand it. As I was caring for that plant I always thought of Wendy and our special friendship and my love for her and all our special memories that I'm so happy I share with only her. I still have the plant and as I know now it is a symbolic of a friendship that is forever growing.
So after nearly 40 years Wendy and I just reconnected just two months ago promising each other to meet up soon...
Rest in peace my dear friend and thank for all the wonderful memories.

As the spirit never dies, she is a part of the living Universe. Wendy was known for helping others, thinking of others, putting all her time and energy into being good Karma on this Earth. I do not understand how the universe works, but I know it does work and does not need my or your understanding to make it work. I am in shock emotionally, yet I am at peace and confident that the universe functions perfectly. But it is my responsibility to be a part of this functionality. I do this by forgiving, loving and living, in this moment. Forgiving unconditinally all others who have wronged me or others, then allowing myself as an expression of love and life.

God has taken back the most caring nurse and person. On the most trying days at work she could always make you laugh and make the day better! She was one of the most genuine loving person I've ever known!

There is a loss without Wendy. Her sparkle, her humor, her connection....Its so obvious she touched so many ....that part of her mission is over accomplished...she made a difference in her unique style...long time no see but every time her name came up so did a vision of smiles & quick wit & generosity....its been years since we shared a funky place off Brady St, went to a Mole Lake festival...memories of a visit in Jerome Az...she was adventure & kindness personified. Everything she did was full engagement.I wasn't surprised to hear all the wonderful nursing tales...I can't help but smile when thinking of her...my condolences to her family & friends...her passing leaves a void...hard to process....one of a kind....astral peace to you, my old friend.

I worked with Wendy for years at Sinai. I haven't seen her for quite a while and am heart broken to hear of her passing. The obit says it all. She was crazy and funny and we all loved her.

Sometimes you meet someone in high school who is so different, fearless and kind that you wonder if you'll ever get to really know what makes them tick. I never got to know Wendy that well, but I did admire her and cherished the fact that she always showed me kindness. She also made me laugh in a very good way. I am truly saddened by the news of her death.

Wendy you will be remembered . In a world where the word " unique" has been trivialized you defined that special quality fully. I never met anyone faster on the draw verbally than you and that's saying a lot.Your kindness was hidden under a smart talking caustic - suffer no fools persona but it was real and your pals and patients were never fooled.What a huge personality inside that little person !Travel gently Miss Shark.

I will be missing Wendy very much!! She was an excellent RN to work with; I always valued her opinions, and didn't hesitate to ask her questions on the job. Wendy was always big-hearted, bringing the other nurses treats, along with her boisterous personality, when she breezed onto the unit at 6:30 pm with a giant "Hello" for everyone! My thoughts and prayers are with Harri and Wendy's entire family during this difficult time. Missing you very much, Wendy!!!
Love,
