Wendy, so sorry to hear of your loss…I will keep you in my prayers
Wendy so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family. If you need anything let me know.
Wendy, I carry many memories of your mom and dad with me. When I think of your parents, I remember your dad and his cheerful whistles and your mom’s laughter. They were both so funny. What I remember most is LOVE. They are together again. Your mom told me that she was determined to check zip-lining over the San Diego zoo off her bucket list. I only wish she had been able to do that. Someday maybe we can do it in her memory. Although I’d be willing to bet the zoo looks pretty spectacular from heaven too. Fly free Linda. Your pain is gone. I Love you.
Wendy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
