Wendy was so kind and generous when I lost my job.
I wish I could thank her.

Dear Wendy,
Thank you for my best friend Ashley. You raised one amazing woman. She is so honored to call you Mom, and has already showed me how your legacy will live on through, "It´s a no brainer!"
Your legacy of Special Education will live on through me. Since our conversations in your kitchen kept me going, inspired to share my gifts just as you did, and become a teacher to the exceptional.
But you, were exceptionally exceptional. Your hard work, determination, and strength is something the world should know. That´s why I write it here. Although, you always knew just how much I loved you!
Rest In Peace Wendy. I´ll miss you until we meet again. And I promise to take care of Ashley! <3
