I didn't know Wanda well, but felt like I did only after meeting her a few times and of course hearing all the wonderful childhood stories from my friend Denise. I know that she did an amazing job as a mother, wife, daughter and sister. I loved some of the phone conversations I had with her too. Her passing makes me so sad as she was so dearly loved by her family and friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the family but especially to Denise and Melissa, whom I love dearly. Your new angel in heaven is watching y'all and is happy to be back with the love of her life and especially her mom and dad. I love you Denise and Melissa! I wish so much that I could be there for y'all. Just know that I am with y'all in my heart.
