Dear Tony,

I was so saddened and shocked to hear of Wanda's passing. I can't even imagine the loss you must be experiencing. Although I haven't seen you both much recently, I have so many fond memories of the times we all spent together.
Wanda was such a wonderful and giving person the world will simply not be the same without her.

Pace e bene.

I sold my unit 28 to Wanda and Tony in 1988 here at Placer Oaks HOA in Los Gatos. It brought good new friends into our community and a responsible board member to our association. We will miss Wanda, her intelligence and caring nature. We had fun and several good times going to SF Giant baseball games. And she was a former Okie like me. In special memory, Ada McDaniel
