We love you so much Aunt Wendy and only have fond memories of you. You have the biggest heart for family and we enjoyed learning about those members who have passed on, in the loving stories you would share of them. From advice about plants to precious interactive children's books, websites, and quilts, you shared and gave so much. We will miss you and hold you forever in our hearts.

I fondly remember Halloween trick or treating as kids, and playing at your house on Paxton. In later years, enjoying your websites and your art. Rest in peace, cousin knowing you have contributed much to so many in your lifetime.
