We’re so sorry to hear about your Mom. It surely leaves a great void here but what a wonderful time she must be having getting a great big hug from your Dad up in heaven. We will be out of town and won’t be able to make it to the services, but be sure that you will be in our thoughts daily.
Love you guys

To Wanda’s family: I graduated from high school with your Mom. We had some great memories during that time. I am so sorry for your loss.I will keep you in my prayers, and remember Wanda as a good friend.
With heart felt sympathy to Amanda, Mike and familys.
To each family member, especially Susan (Gus) since we have known them before Wanda….our sincere sympathy. I enjoyed visiting with Wanda and spending time with her at Flesher’s and missed her much when she moved to Drexel. She was one sweet lady and I know having lost my Mom last May, how hard it is to lose your Mother and your Father. She will always be with you in spirit. Love, Susan
