I was traveling in Ukraine when Wanda died. We shared the same birth date, September 6th and met in Sheldon's Total body workout class. the first day I attended, she and Rose walked over to welcome me and introduced themselves. That shows Wanda's spirit in a nutshell. we classmates always were in awe of her suppleness in being able to stretch her body flat when sitting on the floor and bending forward. she was like a ballet dancer.
I invited her to attend my 70th birthday party in 2010 and Claire drove her. she was so happy to be here even though she had some lapses of memory. It was a gift to me.
please accept my condolences and let me know if the family selected a charity to remember her life.
