To the Bryant family. I meet Wanda as we depart on a trip to Africa in 2013. Wanda was a wonderful, free spirit person, who enjoy life and people. We would run into each other at different places, the last time was in April 2016 and I inform her that I had plan to go to South Africa in Oct, 2017. At that time I met her mother and sisters and I felt the same loving spirit that Wanda had. Yes, Wanda was given the information for South Africa and I was looking forward to seeing her. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family, and I will truly miss seeing her smiling face and free spirit.

Words cannot express the pain that I am feeling. We use to joke and said that you were my wifey. You were such a sweet and caring individual with a bubbling smile. I will truly miss you. I know that we will see each again on that great day when all God Children get together. Rest on my friend and be at peace.
Love you much!
