Oh so sad to hear of Wendy's passing on. one of my favorite people at Bethany, and sad for her daughters who are beautiful and such great voices. I remember taking her aside and telling her that her dgtr was extremely a great singer, she was just in grade school, then. Wendy was surprised that I said that, and that girl sang her heart out. I also told her how very talented she was. I keep expecting to see her on AGT or American Idol. Her sisters as well.sharon wernecke church secy then.

Calvin and family we want to express our deepest condolences in the passing of Wendy. Calvin and Wendy brought their children to Bethany Lutheran in Kenosha where I was a teacher and principal. Wendy was a wonderful mother and a joy to be around. Her laugh was contagious. Wendy will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her. Grief is extremely difficult but sharing in special memories will help to ease your pain. God bless you all.
