Many times this past week I have gone to pick up the phone to call you and gossip about this… where we could cry and laugh about how ridiculous we are being, only to be met with the dreadful realization that you are gone. My heart will always ache at that thought. Wendy my dear friend, you truly were so special. I have never met someone so full of life, love and laughter all at once. I cannot encapsulate who you were into words, you just kinda had to experience it to know the incredible human being you were. You will shine through within Slade and Hunter for the rest of their lives, you were ann incredible mother. Until we meet again in the next lifetime, save me a seat buddy. I love you endlessly.

My condolences to Wendy's family. May her memory be eternal.

From the first time I met Wendy her spirit, smile, laugh and warm hug radiated through her to you. She always knew how to make a person feel comfortable and loved. She was always ready to jump to someone else's needs. I know her road was not always easy buy she faced things with such positive and vibrant energy that showed she could take on anything. I grateful for the tome that I was blessed to have her in my life. The only thing I change is I wish it was longer.
May you find peace in your new journey. No more pain just happiness, healing and light.
Love you always and see you on the other side. Save me a seat at the table. Fly high sweet girl fly f

Wendy, I remember those days where I was struggling, and you would hug me tightly until I stopped crying. You were always there for me, and always gave great advice. I will miss you, and will always love you. It doesn't feel real that I'm typing this, I hope you're at peace now. Thank you for being such a beautiful person and friend xx
