I'll always remember Wendy as a warm and kind woman. I enjoyed visiting the Fitzlaff's in their home and appreciated their hospitality when I lived on the south side and attended their church in the early 1980's. We'll all have some great reunions to look forward to in heaven.

I knew the Fitzlaff family when they lived in Vanderhoof BC, Canada, many years ago. Even though they moved away from Canada when I was quite young, I will always remember Wendy as being a beautiful, cheerful woman, who always made me feel welcome in their home. My sincere condolences to the Fitzlaff family on their loss. May you find solace and strength in family and friends around you in this difficult time. Love and prayers to you all.
