I WILL ALWAYS BE INDEBTED TO WANDA FOR EVERYTHING SHE DID FOR ME WHEN ROBBIE WAS BORN. SHE TOOK HIM EARLY AT 3 WEEKS SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK AND SHE KEPT HIM UNTIL SHE CLOSED HER DAYCARE WHEN HE WAS 12 OR SO. ROBBIE WAS HER LAST "KEEP". SHE RAIDED HIM WELL AND WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS BECOME. WITH ALL MY HEART, SHE WILL BE MISSED AND WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED. GOD BE WITH YOU ALL.
