We were crushed to hear about the passing of our long time next door neighbor. Wanda was a wonderful christian lady that loved everything, and everybody. She was taken from us much too soon, and she will be missed by so many. A wonderful cook who made the best coconut cake on the planet. Rest In Peace neighbor.

Wanda was my cute red-headed niece. I was only 7 years older and also a red-head but I enjoyed her visits when we were young and she came to the farm with her family. She was always smiling and full of life--Tony and I send our love and deepest sympathy to you Bennie. May God bless you and give you strength at this time.
