Wanda, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you or remember some little thing about you. I can't believe that it will soon be a year this September. It doesn't seem real. I will always love and miss you.

Praying for God's comfort and peace to surround you  . Love

So sorry for your loss. We have your family in our prayers and we are praying for the Lord to give you strength during this time.  Wanda has no days of pain now just happiness for all eternity.

With all my heart I will dearly miss that light that always burned within our sweet Wanda’s heart. She always had this innocent sweet charm about her that just made you want to spend time with her. I will never forget our talks together, sitting in the pews at Liberty talking while her daughter, Heather was decorating the arch for her wedding with roses. Wanda looked at me and said, “Why don’t you just go up there and put that greenery on that arch. I said, “ Because Heather thinks it will be better without it. Wanda said, “You know it will look better with it.” I said,  “Yes.” Then she said,  “So why don’t you just do it?” I said, Because I am waiting for her to wear herself out.” That some how struck Wanda funny and she laughed and laughed. She got me tickled and for a little while we forgot about her cancer and forgot about the stress of fighting to just stay alive. For the rest of the decorating whenever I would sit down beside her to look and see how everything was looking she would say, “Are you just coming over here waiting again”. Then we would start laughing with such a light hearted feeling and just enjoy the moment. One of her biggest fears was leaving Heather and not being there for her when she needed her. She was such a sweet, kindhearted person, it was a pure joy to be around her, but more than that she was a dedicated mother, planning for how Heather would make it without her right to the end.  I will dearly miss her zest for life and her tender soul for as long as I remain alive, but then I am sure we will meet again. We shall laugh and never be weary, laugh and never be sad, for we will both have made it home. Until then we should all try to live our lives with the joy and love she would have wanted us to have. Her fondest wish for her family was that they could just all get along and go back to the way they used to be before life pulled them aside. All it takes is love ❤️ and all it takes is forgiveness. All it takes is Jesus, for he is love. 

So sorry to hear of this. May God give you peace and comfort. We love you all.
Steve & Jeanette

She will be missed by all. She was a sweet niece. 
God bless the family and friends !!!!



My prayers are with her family. She was so kind to me when I worked at Food City. Her and Stacy always teased me about breaking something and having to fix it. She was one of the good ones and will be truly missed! Praying for all of her family in the days to come. 

Wanda was one of the kindest people I ever met . Her smile was infectious and lit up any room she was in. God gained a beautiful angel . Stacy and Heather have a precious guardian angel . Prayers for your family 

So sorry to hear about Wanda.  She always had a smile. Prayers for your family. GOD Knows All.
