I was so blessed to work with Wanda. She was an extremely talented nurse and social worker who I sought out often for counsel. She had also helped my family years ago with grace and kindness. Wanda was a true angel.

Jack, Larry told me about the loss of your dear wife. I am so sorry. I remember your mom and dad so well, and I wish I had a chance to get to know you and Wanda. May our Lord comfort and keep you in the coming weeks and months.

Wanda is a true blessing. She is inspirational in her advocacy for service to others and caring for people who have suffered mental and physical difficulties. I will always remember her kind spirit, her sense of humor and her gift of being a blessing to others.
My friend,
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
