I love you very much Mom. I still can't believe you're gone but I know you're up in Heaven with the Lord and reunited with Dad and your other family members. God blessed me when he gave me you, my sweet, beautiful, wonderful Mom. I light this candle for you Mom, you are and will be in my heart forever and I'll think of you every single day and have been and will miss you so very much.

Hi cousins
I have such great memories of my Aunt Wanda that I will hang onto forever. She was a character and I know she is in heaven with our loved ones rejoicing our Heavenly Father. I know I will see her again some day. My love to you all. Blessings Jackie Jensen

Dearest Karen, Michael and Les, I thought that I had posted a message in your mom's guest book, but apparently I didn't do it correctly. The joys of being an older person in this day and age. I hope and pray that you all have the comfort of knowing that your mom is with the Lord. She was a wonderful sister, mother, wife and friend. She served the Lord all of her life in helping others and giving to His work. She was so fun to be with and I have missed her so very much over the passed several years since she could no longer travel to visit us all out here in the west. It makes me sad that our family is so spread out and that most of us no longer have the means to travel far and wide to visit each other. Rex and I and Ann will always have such fond memories of Wanda and the fun person that she was. It was truly my privilege to have such a wonderful sister and friend. We will be with you all in Spirit on Friday evening and on Saturday. We have sent a floral tribute in her honor. June, Ann, Jackie & Mike, Pam & Tim, and Rex & I contributed to sending it and it should be delivered by Dick's Florists tomorrow evening. I hope that this message sticks. Love, hugs and prayers!! Aunt Jude & Uncle Rex

I am truly sorry for you loss. I remember your mom well. She put up with us playing so close to your home for a bunch of years. I hope you all are doing well. And that your mother will find peace as she joins the lord in paradise. Rest In Peace, Mrs. Brennan.
