I was so saddened to find that Ms. Wedholm had passed away. My heartfelt sympathy goes to her family. Ms. Wedholm was my first grade teacher at Rayburn Elementary in 1982. I will always remember how sweet she was, as well as her soft spoken tone of voice. I still have a small wallet picture of her she gave me that was taken during the annual school pictures. Our prayers are with her family.

Wendy, my mother was a friend of yours, her name was Mrs. Mamie Cantu (she's now passed on) and I got to know your mother. Sometimes the three of us would go out to eat together. I regret that we lost touch the last few years but I still remembered her fondly from time to time. I'm very sorry about your loss, I remember your mother as a very sweet, soft spoken woman who had nothing but good things to say about people, and your name was always on her lips. Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of a woman like your mom. God bless you.

Dear Sunny, You will be missed by so many and you leave us all with sweet
memories of times gone by. Christmas was always such a happy
time and Ted and I enjoyed having
you and the children for a little
Christmas of our own.
You're one of the nicest and bravest
women I've known and one of my
very special friends, and it is comforting to know you are resting
in the Lord. God bless you and yours.
