Wendy was a lovely funny woman who I sat with at our pool at the Pinehills. She and I loved those sunny days basking. You will be so missed at that pool with are other Pinehills pool gal. Rest in peace.

Wendy, Friends are the family we choose, and I am forever grateful that our paths crossed in this lifetime. I cherish the many adventures and countless laughs we have shared throughout the years. Every minute spent with you was pure joy. I will miss your colorful spirit, your fearless nature, your genuine kindness, and inspiring creativity.
Nearly 30 years ago you gave me a red US Open Tennis baseball cap. I still have it, and it is so loved that it has now faded to your favorite color pink.
To everything pink and everything that made you so fabulous. You are forever in my heart. Until we meet again. Love, Michael

From Wendy´s kind heart to her immense positive energy, she truly was one of a kind. She was a very inspirational, elegant lady to me and left a lasting impact. I am remembering numerous "get-together´s" just to talk and laugh.
Wendy´s legacy will live on......
Rest in peace, my dear friend. You will be greatly missed.
