    George and Family please accept my deepest sympathies. Wendy was such an amazing woman. I worked close with her in 2004-2006 at the Church and missed her dearly. She was a great person and great wife, talked about you her children and
    Grandchildren often. I wish I had kept in touch with her. May God take care of her as she enters the gates of Heaven. God bless you and your family.

    It’s Shirley Zindle–So sorry I couldn’t say a final goodbye to Wendy. Earlier today I had a test with anesthesia and can’t drive for 24 hours. Also my son Mark has to work early. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless Wendy and no problems!

    George and family, I send my sincere condolences. I had worked with Wendy at the IU. She was always very nice to me, and that meant a lot to a traveling Speech Therapist. I felt really badly when I saw the notice at Actor’s Circle. Sending love & prayers to you and family.
