I had the honor of working with Miss Wanda from 1995-2003. She was a wonderful example of a Christian, a dedicated employee, and low key funny. I learned a few phrases from Miss Wanda. I´ll never forget her having to explain "old as Methusla" to me. During the rare occasions when we had a "quiet" moment, she´d sing the old hymns. I loved it. Often I´ve wondered how she was doing and regretted not having maintained contact with her. My sincere condolences to her family. But I know she´s celebrating in Heavens Glory.
