Although I never met Wendy's family, I believe you are all so special for having an influence in Wendy's life and helping to form the beautiful soul she was. Since she will always be a part of you, be comforted knowing her light lives on in you and in her many friends. I had the pleasure of earning her friendship, then begged her to work with me, and I found myself so looking forward to those hours we spent together and will always keep Wendy in MY heart as well.
With my deepest sympathies, Jim Connolly - CONNOLLY'S LIQUOR MART - FAIRHAVEN

We are so saddend by the loss of Wendy. She was such a fun loving beautiful person with a million dollar smile that would light up a room. I met Wendy through the Respit program. She and I had shared clients, She would care for them in the evening, and then would send them to the Partial Hospital Program during the Day time.She had made such an impact on many individuals lives. I remember when she had become engaged to John and she showed us (PH girls) the ring! She was beaming with joy and love, she giggled and smiled. I will always remember that day. I was at her wedding with my husband and there was not a dry eye in the church. She was so beautiful, and then when she was pregnant with Tyler, she just glowed. My husband and I just can't believe she is gone and we will miss her so much.
We are so sorry for your great loss.

Janet, I'm so, so sorry for the loss of your sister. I know what it is to lose a sibling, and more than anything, I wish you didn't have to go through this. I wish you and your parents the strength to not only get through this but, also, the strength to heal.
