Such a sweet lady and she loved her grandkids so much!
Wanda and Lester were such good neighbors. Can still see Lester in his garden. We will miss these sweet people. Love them.

Our deepest sympathies and prayers to all of your family. Wanda was such a sweet Christian…Her joy in the Lord was always evident. If I stop and think, I can still hear her contagious laughter. We have fond memories of her and Lester here at Ripley Baptist Temple with our church family. Their seat here has never truly been filled. Heaven will be a wonderful place to be with all the saints of God gathered together at the feet of Jesus! Lord bless and comfort you all at this time.
