I am going to miss Sweet Wanda with her wonderful smile. She has lifted many of my days. I know she is a much better place with no more pain and suffering. Her spirit will always be around me for many of us. I know one day we all will be seeing her in heaven with her wings. She was an angle on Earth and now she is one in Heaven. May God be with her family for my prayers are reaching out to them in this time of need.
To Wanda’s family and friends – I am so sorry for your loss. Wanda, rise in peace.

In Our Hearts (c) Rose de Leon We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which well never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart. Second post. Wanda–Until we meet again, may God keep you in the palm of his hand. I love you Wanda Pearl and will miss you.
What a wonderful person. When she was hired for the Ecosystem Enhancement Program as an administrative assistant, she was always cheerful and professional. Her traits were so good that when the Deputy Secretary for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources met her he hired her (stole -)) to his office. Our loss was their gain because she was so good. I wish her family the best in this time of mourning, knowing that they had a gem on a person in their life. William D. Gilmore, PE Director, Ecosystem Enhancement Program (ret.)
As we make our journey through this life, death is our final stop. In a time when our tears are pouring, & our heart is breaking. (Ps.3418) The Bible gives us comfort in our time of grief. Even the perfect man ,JESUS CHRIST, Gave way to tears. So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) All-though Jesuss ministry was for only 3 years, it had the greatest impact, then any other event in all of history. Jesus was approachable, & kind, LOVE was the motivation, for everything That Jesus did. Jesus spend his ministry , telling the people of the kingdom, healing the sick, expelling demons, & in some cases raising some from the dead. (Rev. 213,4) Giving us a glimpse of what is yet to come. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come back to life (John 1125) May the God of all comfort give you refuge, & strength, in your most difficult time. (2 Cor. 13,4). Love was the reason for the ransom sacrifice, showing the great love that Jehovah & Jesus had for all of mankind. (John 316) What a wonderful gift we have been giving, to have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again.
