My sweet Line Sister/Soror/Friend/Ubiquity Classmate you will truly be missed, but while you were here with us, know you were cherished and loved. God brought you home to be with Him and your mother so that you didn´t have to suffer any more pain. We know not the time or date when the Lord calls us home. RIP my sister and I send my love to you in heaven. Deepest condolences and prayers to Mr. James and Wanda´s family.

Wanda was a classmate (Rose High '76) and a Soror, but more importantly, she was a beautiful human being with a warm heart and kindred spirit. I was sad to hear of her passing. Mr. Leroy and family - May the Peace and Love of the Lord be with you.

Like a fluttering butterfly you came into our life. 8 years ago we met on the set of Greenleaf and my life was brightened! You left a legacy of love with all of us in the BG world! My prayers for your dad and family

My sincere prayers and heartfelt condolences to the family at the transition of your loved one. When I lived in Greenville (before returning to Powellsville), Wanda and I worked together at Rose High School. She was a good friend, co-worker and all-around great person. My prayer to God is that He grant you peace and comfort. Blessings to each of you!

Wanda Arlene James was a light wherever she went. She was sweet and kind and so loved by all. I am so grateful to have spent a few days with her in the mountains recently. Those are memories that I will cherish always.

Dear Fellow Ubiquity classmate,
It is with a broken heart that we share your homeward journey to glory.
You fought a good fight, but God needed your stars with him.
As you sail homeward, just know that the heavens are rejoicing because an Angle named Wanda has ascended in the ranks of the most high.
Cathy and I will miss your pleasant and caring personality. Let´s not forget that million dollar smile; it truly was your trademark.
Rest my friend and know that earth has no sorrows that heaven can´t heal.
PS, your dad will be just fine, but I´m sure that you already knew he would.
Sincerely,
Your friends, Class of 80-The Lees.

Oh, my dear sweet sister cousin. You are going to be missed so much. You were one of the sweetest souls that has ever walked this Earth. You have touched so many lives in such a positive way. We will make sure Uncle Leroy is ok. Rest sweet Angel. You are free from pain. Love you!
