Mother and Father-in-Law Courtney and Pat Huntsman, brother-in-Law Scott Huntsman.

It is my pleasure to have worked and to have known Wendy. She was fun, friendly, and honest. She was a good person, a beautiful person. Her tender touch reached out to many, she gave her friendship to countless many. She loved to give gifts to people, to see their faces light up with happiness, brought happiness to Wendy too. I miss our lady talk time, when we talked about our families. Wendy touched the life of my family, we remember fun beautiful Wendy "laughing and smiling, like she always did." Wendy is remembered and missed.
