To Wandas family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Wanda from the time I moved to DSM 18 years ago and chose Dr. Markowski as my Dentist. Wanda was always such a delightful person. Always greeted people with a smile. I will miss her very much when I go for my dental appointments.
Prayers for all of the family during this difficult time. Wanda will be greatly missed!

Erin and David -
I was so fortunate to have worked with Wanda as a vendor.
Your mom was such a sweet, sweet lady. We talked often and it was as if we were old friend although Id known her for only about 3 years. She was such a hard worker and genuine, good person. So thankful we crossed paths.
My deepest sympathies to your family. May the memories of your mom and the lives she impacted, be a lasting strong legacy you always cherish.
God bless you all!

My heart goes out to Erin and David
