May 2, 2014 Happy Birthday Wendy! You received the best gift, which was meeting our Savior, Jesus! I can only imagine how it would be surrounded by God's Glory! I feel your presence along my daily journey and still I'm saddened not having you physically here to hug, get advice from, and to see your smiling, beautiful face. I love you, Becca

Happy 54th Birthday to our dear, sweet Wendy! We miss you every second of every day! I just read the book, "Heaven Is For Real." Thinking of you being in Heaven, with all of Its glory, gets me through each day! We love you with all our hearts! Mom & Pop

Our dear, sweet, precious Wendy; You went to Heaven one year ago today. Not a second goes by that we don't miss you! Our emotions are so mixed. In one way, it seems like you left us only yesterday and, in another, it seems like an eternity has passed. We know you are the lucky one to be in Heaven and we hurt only for ourselves! We love you so much, Mom and Pop

My dear sweet Wendy, I have sang Happy Birthday to you for so many years and my heart was so heavy yesterday. I miss you so much. I lost my precious sister, Terri, 7 days ago and my heart aches for her but I can only hope that she has found you and I know that we will all rejoice when we meet again. I will hold you in my heart forever. I love you.

Happy 53rd Birthday to our dear, sweet, precious Wendy! We sorely miss you every second of every day! We baked banana nut bread today in honor of your birthday, knowing that was one of your favorites. Being without you truly is the most difficult circumstance we have ever had to endure. Our hearts ache with our love for you! Love always, Mom and Pop

Wendy was a special lady who made close, loving friends everywhere she went. One of the easiest people to just be around that I ever knew. She was a friend to my late brother, and a roomate and confidante to the man I now love - we were all friends at College of Charleston. David, I remember the night you and Wendy met at the Hogpenny, and y'all were inseperable ever since. Cherish the wonderful memories. She will be so missed.

Dear Wendy, You are such a nice lady and the most knowledgable person I have ever met during my work for the past 12 years. Although we never met yet I feel we are so close through the phone. Your voice is so familiar to me and it keeps surrounding my ears. I appreciate all the great jobs and kind helps you had done for EJW. We will always love you and miss you.

Wendy, I have fond memories of you during our teenage years. I met you through MYF groups at church and we immediately became friends. Our trip to the beach will always be a great memory. You were always so pretty and happy. I missed our friendship after school days and always said I'd like to contact you. One thing for sure, I will see you again one day. We will have plenty of time to catch up with one another then. To Wendy's family, I'm sure you will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers will be with each of you in the coming days. Love always..
