Wanda was a very dear friend of the Laurenson family and although I knew her a very short time she became a very dear friend of mine as well. She will be missed but she leaves behind her memory and the legacy of all that she has done in her life!! RIP Wanda!!

Miss Lambert touched the lives of my three daughters during her teaching, cheering coach in the Glendora school district. She was dedicated to her job and gave freely of her time. Her life touched ours in many ways. The memories we will aways keep close in our hearts. Respectfully we want Miss Lambert to know she was loved and very much appreciated.
