I know in my heart that Aunt Shirley is in heaven. She was always a shining example of how to enjoy life and to help others. I have tried to shape my life off of the lessons she taught me as a child. I know that she loved everyone with a heart as big as Texas. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends. Rest in peace Aunt Shirley and please give a kiss to Uncle Alfred for me.  Love you always and forever, Gena Lynn

I have been Mrs. Wendelken's neighbor for more than 40 years.  She always had a smile and a story.  One of the last times I saw her was a while back.  We both happened to be at a clinic to have blood tests done.  When I said hello, she looked at me with the cutest smile and said "I'm sure I know you, but I don't remember you."  She was so secure in herself that she had no problem letting you know where you stood.  She will be greatly missed!

Alfred, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Your Mom was a beautiful soul and served as Mom to many many people.  She was full of wisdom and never short of wit.  One of my defining moments was when your Mom, seeing that I was obsessive about cleaning as a new wife and mother, told me that when I died, my epitaph would not read 'She kept a clean house'.  Your Mom told me to not worry about keeping a spotless house but take time to play with my kids and invest that time into them.  I did that and it changed how I approached life then and how I approach life now.  She will be greatly missed by all her"extended children" as well as her family and friends.  May God give you peace as you navigate this time in your life Al.  Thinking of you and sending prayers your way.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs Wendelken as Alfred's Mom and as my secretary- bookkeeper for several years.  Shirley was an awesome woman and one of the most positive, joyful people I ever had the pleasure of knowing.  She will be missed by her friends and family, but I take solace in knowing that I will see her again in heaven.

I love my aunt shirley and she will be missed she truly touched the hearts of so many.

my condolences for your loss. prayers for you and your family. Cass

I am sorry for your loss, Alfred.  Your mother was a wonderful lady.

I think of Shirley every day that I am at HCC.  She was always so friendly, helpful, and feisty!  My condolences to all who loved her, and were loved by her.

My condolences to the family. May the family find much comfort in God's word at Matt. 5:4

So sorry for your loss, Al.  Your Mom was a great lady and I loved her dearly.  I have many great memories of her and your Dad.  Heaven has gained another angel.  She is dearly missed here on earth.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences, Alfred.  Your mother was an exceptional person and I am sorry for your loss.  Charlotte Spencer
