Such very sad news about Wendy's passing...

For many years in Finance at Western, Wendy was a dedicated employee, a supportive colleague and, best of all, a very dear friend.
I will always remember her quick wit, easy smile, and that infectious laugh.

To Don & family, my heart-felt condolences at this very difficult time.
There will also be so many happy & treasured memories of Wendy, to provide you with comfort in the years to come.

I recall Wendy (at Beck) as someone with the kindest eyes. And as someone who loved to laugh. My heartfelt sympathies to her family. RIP, Wendy.

Our deepest sympathy to Don, Rebecca and the whole family. This is heartbreaking. Far too young, reminds us all to value each day just a little bit more. Dear Wendy, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you rest in peace.

We've known Wendy since high school (Beck). She was always so full of life and the centre of activities. Our circle of friends eventually moved around the country, but we had the pleasure, in recent years, to reconnect, including having a number of reunions and staying in touch with emails and FB. What a sudden and tragic loss of such an exuberant and delightful soul. All our best wishes go out to Don and the family.

From an old Beal classmate and someone who was so grateful for a little reunion amongst a few of us about 6 years ago, Gavin joins me in sending along our sincere sympathy to Don and the whole family. We're in Florida for the winter, or we'd be there today to honour a special old friend who brought effervescence and life to all around her. Rest In Peace, old friend, and just know you were a blessing to us all.
