Wendy loved all of us and we all loved her.  We will treasure our memories together always.

Dear Wendy, wishing you peace and happiness. You are forever in our hearts.

It was always so fun to celebrate birthdays and holidays together.

When they got together, they were quite the pair!

What a blessing to have all of us there for our sweet baby girl Megan.

You wore many hats in our family and some of them are Mom, Mommy, Bà ngoại, Grandma Wendy and of course Wendy. You loved everyone of us in your own special way, no one was favored except me, I’m just kidding. Even though you are not with us any longer your spirit and love will always linger around all of us. 

We might not have had a neighborhood watch but our neighbors knew you were that one person who knew everything. You are missed but not forgotten on our court.

I love you mom, we all love you and miss you so very much.

I had the pleasure of meeting Wendy back in 2007 when we moved in across the street from each other and I’m so glad I did. She was wonderful to everybody always cheerful and helpful. She treated my children like her own grandchildren and that was very special to me, we all loved her very much and will continue to do so while she’s in heaven. Several times she would come over and tell stories and make us laugh. It was always so fun to be around her. I will sure miss her.
I’ve been praying for the family during this difficult time.

My condolences to the Finch, Pham, and Looc families. Wendy was a joy to be around and brightened every room she entered. I will miss her and her laughter dearly.

I only met this wonderful woman two times in my life through my good friend Kim who is a former coworker and a dear friend of mine. the first time I met her we had just come back from a trip to San Jose or ran some errands and Kim wanted to stop and give her mom some food when I met her, she was very kind and smelt of jasmine. I remember that smell because it was such a sweet and pleasant, and very refreshing smell. This smell  seemed to suit this lady because and she seemed so full of life and energy, and was generally happy to see me, even though she didn’t even know who I was. the second was at Megan‘s graduation party and she actually remembered who I was, and welcomed me into their house with  arms wide open. It was like I was meeting my grandmother that’s how I felt like I was a long lost family member which made me happy in an odd way. She was very kind and loving and had a very sweet laugh  and told me many stories about herself and just seemed like she was so happy for her family members she was very proud of them and she was very loved. Even though  I only saw her twice in my life. I feel that she will hold a very special place in my heart. My heart goes out to the family members and this time of grief may she rest in peace. She was very well loved, and she was surrounded by people who loved and cherished her even in her final moments. i’m sad that I could not be there in her final moments but I’m glad to be part of her memory.

Dearest Finch and Pham family:

I offer you my deepest heartfelt condolences over the loss of your Mom, Grandma, family member and friend. I only had the pleasure of meeting Mama Wendy once, but I was happy to have had that opportunity. I  recall her sweet loving smile, and the positive energy she gave out. I met her daughter Kim, when my kids moved over to DBE. Kim was my first friend I made there. Kim was welcoming, upbeat, humorous, generous, and so very friendly and kind to myself and my family.

I am sure that all these positive qualities, and so many more were/are inherited gifts from Mama
Wendy to her daughter Kim, her other children and grandchildren as well. It is so hard to lose a loved one, but to lose your Mother/Grandmother is the hardest loss. My prayers, thoughts and loving condolences go out to each and everyone who is missing Mama, and Grandma Wendy. She is forever watching and guiding you all. 

Please never forget (as you are missing her now), that her spirit lives on within all of  her family members who loved and knew her.  All my friendship and prayers to you all.❤️🙏🏻

My mommy and Mom Sue Finch at Michael’s baby shower. These 2 always shared a special bond even though they were in-laws. Love you ladies 💕

Most recent picture I have of these 2 amazing women in my life. Megan’s graduation 2023!!!

My memories of Wendy go back almost 15 years!  She has always been a star who brightened the time I spent with her, Kim, Tim and their kiddos.  She made me laugh regularly with her little antics and stories.  The majority of my memories of her are our conversations on the front porch or kitchen whenever I visited their home.  She loved to keep busy and often was crocheting. When my mother-in-law passed, I brought a huge amount of yarn to Wendy to make whatever her heart wanted.  She opted to use a lot of that yarn to create a beautiful blanket for my family and I.  This blanket is a gorgeous creation that will keep my memories of Wendy alive.   I often say to friends when they lose someone that the person who has left our world will always be with them in their hearts, memories, and watching over them from above.  I believe Wendy will be doing this.  I am also certain she will be shaking her head wishing we would all learn from the past and our mistakes.   I was blessed to be among her friends, and she will always be remembered for her love and smile.

Just another one of your birthdays with us mommy!! You really loved your salami and flowers 💐 💕

Most recent picture of mom celebrating Sue and Randy’s 50th Wedding Anniversary!!

Mom loved making all of our Christmas breakfasts every year!! Basically, she loved cooking and the kitchen was her domain ❤️

Grandma Wendy, you made such an impact on my family. I feel so lucky to have met you. Your sense of humor and zest for life made you so fun to be around. Thank you for making us the best food and making us feel welcome in your home. Your kind heart and warm gestures toward my children will never be forgotten. We love you and will miss you so much.

Family holiday get togethers are always wonderful. I loved grandma Wendy!! ❤️
