Wendy Dawn Balazik

Such a loss to her community. What a shock to find that she was gone--I never knew about her illness til it was over, only knew her as an active, healthy, forward-looking and accomplished young woman. I'll remember her that way.

Wendy's Family,
While I have never met you and hadn't been in touch with Wendy in years, I am very sorry for your loss. We met and became friends while Sierra Club had assigned her to an election in Georgia in 2002.

Dear Balazik Family,

I was saddened to read of Wendy's passing in the University of Mary Washington alumni magazine. Wendy was one of the first students I had met after coming to Mary Washington in 1997. I distinctly remember some enriching conversations I had with her while at Mary Washington, and having lunch with her on Capitol Hill.

May the joy of the Resurrection give you comfort at this time.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Wendy's passing in the MWC alumni magazine. She and I became friends when we both worked on Capitol Hill in the 90's (on opposite sides of the aisle, which always made for lively discussions). She was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor, and I will truly miss her.

Dear Balazik Family, I just wanted to let you know how sorry myself and the team in Radiation Oncology at Fairfax Hospital were to hear of Wendy's passing. She fought with just wonderful poise, wit and courage. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Wendy often at IACP. Wendy was a beautiful person and a beautiful soul. May you take some strength in the fact that she will always be remembered.

I am so sorry for your huge loss. Wendy was a wonderful person and had a personality that I will never forget. She and I had many graduate classes together at GMU and I will always cherish the memories I had of sitting next to her and talking about Cloverleaf Mall and Matoaca.

Dear Bec and Mr. & Mrs. Jones,

We were so sad to hear of Wendy's passing. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you all. Please know that our prayers are with you. May God bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Love,
Tim, Martha (Milliner) & Titus Curry

I will never forget our trip to the Grand Canyon. I remember while driving up there she sang the Dixie Chicks "Cowboy take me away" and we stared at the sea of stars that blanketed the night sky.

Wendy is a wonderful woman and will be missed. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Balazik family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Balazik family,
Wendy was an amazing person and I was honered to work with her at IACP for several years. You are in my thoughts.

Dear Balazik family,
I'm deeply saddened by the loss of my co-worker and friend. Wendy was such a joy to be around and will truly be missed. May she rest in peace and you all be comforted with loving memories of her.

John, Becky, and family,

I was so sorry to hear of Wendy's passing earlier this week. Although it has been many years since I've seen her, I still remember her well from when we were all little kids. I know she was a special girl to the whole family and I pray you will always keep her memory close to your heart.

I'm so sorry I couldnt be there. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Though I wasnt able to see her often, she was a special cousin and will be in my heart forever.
Love,
Kathleen
