I am so sorry to hear about Wanda. She was a very sweet and kind person who always had a laugh for you. She was a very devoted friend to so many and she will be greatly missed but heavan has gained a real special angel….. I hope he can handle her
I first met Wanda when we were both working at Belks. I was working two jobs so by the time i got to Belks i was already tired. But she would have no part of that. She made night go by fast and we had fun. Later I met her family and was invited to eat at ms Bessie’s. Very welcomed. Wanda was like her, caring and loved hard the people she really liked. She had her crazy way of making you laugh or she could kick your tail to the curb. She pulled no junk with you. She was exactly what you saw and she meant what she said good or bad. I will miss her. She’s one of those people you will always be expecting to see when you turn the corner. And one day maybe we will turn that corner and run into each other again. Love you girl!
Wanda, Fly high with the Angels.We will miss you dearly.Im so thankful you were in our life.You were a special gift from God.
I remember being pregnant with my son Brian, Wanda use to sit up under me so much.She loved babies so much.She would put her foot on my stomach and we would laugh and laugh.She always loved to come and get him with her mama to keep a couple days.That was in 1980.So long ago but not long enough.Love you WaWa
