Wanda was a dear friend from childhood through life and will be dearly missed. Condolences to her family
sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss
I was very sorry to hear of Wanda’s passing but know that she is in God’s care and with loved ones that have gone on before. God’s Blessing to her family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Wanda for Mr. Regnier. She was a joy to be around
Just today, I read of Wanda’s passing. We worked together many years ago and stayed in touch afterwards for 30 years or so. We shared a birthday. I lost her phone number when I changed phones 5 or 6 years ago so tried to find her number online. Instead, I found this. I’m so sorry, Brad and Doug. She was a wonderful person and a dear friend. I’ll never forget her.
