Thank you for being my bestest friend in the whole world. My life will never be the same without you to chat with; laugh with or “accidentally running into you” in the grocery store, but I know you will forever be a part of my heart. Gosh I miss you so much WSK….. Until we see each other again, my “sister”, my best friend
Bill so sorry for your loss, Wendy will always be remembered at our Keyser Office.
Bill – So sorry to hear of Wendy’s passing . . . you will both be in thoughts and prayers.
I am at a loss. It has been 10 plus years since I last saw Wendy. I moved away from Kalamazoo. However her husband has always been one of my favorite people in my life! That being said, she had a lot to do with that. She was very kind to me and I enjoyed the little time I got to spend with them! Bill I am sorry for this loss my friend. My hart is broken for you! R.I.P. 🙁 Ric
God be with you, Wendy
