Dear Erna and Tom, I am definitely deeply saddened over the loss of our precious Wendy. Today I received word of her death and have been in shock. Although I submitted a previous message I want to remind you that Wendy was definitely a true Saint! Wendy had the heart of Jesus Christ. I always knew whenever I spoke with her that she was a true servant of our Lord Jesus Christ. I loved Wendy so much and you have no idea how deeply sad I am because of her loss. I have cried and I have prayed to Jesus for our dear Wendy. I realize you suffer a deeper loss than I do and want you to know how much I care for all of you. I know this has been a tragic loss even though I don't know the reasons, all I can say is I have prayed to Jesus Christ asking that Wendy and Willis are together in heaven with God and our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. All we can do is remember to look at the beautiful example Wendy set for all of us through her wisdom and deep spiritual discernment. Wendy never had to say all of the words, I just knew that whenever I spoke with her she touched my heart and I was deeply connected to her. It is a major loss for me and no one can ever replace dear precious Wendy. At least we know she was and is an Angel and she is a Saint and our comfort will have to remain with the knowledge that she is now in heaven. God Bless all of you for all of your love and for your loss for Wendy. We will remember Wendy forever and remember what she taught us. Wendy was always honest, kind, loving and understanding and the most patient person I have ever spoken to. I loved Wendy very much and hope you understand that even though I am not family I deeply suffer the pain knowing she is gone. One day we shall all meet together through the Glory of God into the heavens above. I know that Wendy believed this even though she never said these words. I also believe deep in your hearts you know the same. We shall be joyful for Wendy because she expressed complete love and joy always no matter what. God Bless dear Wendy. Yes I am so sad I am lamenting enormously and I apologize. God Bless You and may the Peace of God be with you always! In honor of our dear Wendy we shall all remember the peaceful, joyful loving kindness that she gave to all. Many times Wendy touched my heart and you have no idea how much I will always remember dear Wendy. It is deeply sad for sure and all we can do is remember that during this Christmas Season we can rejoice to be reminded the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and celebrate His birth, as our redeemer. I know that Wendy is with our redeemer for sure because she lived her life according to the word of God and through her love for God she never had to say the words because she expressed the love and wisdom of God every time I ever spoke with her and I know that you know it also. So sad yes it is. So very very sad. God Bless Amen Amen. Hail Mary Full of Grace the Lord is with Thee, blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Mother Mary pray for our sins now and until the hour of our death. Glory be to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever more shall be. Yes Wendy touched my heart very much and with that I will close with "Our Father who art in heaven. Hallowed be they name. Thy Kingdom Come Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Lead us not into temptation and forgive us for our sins. For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and Glory. Amen" Dear Wendy rest in peace and thankyou Jesus for allowing us to have the time we spent with your dear Servant Wendy. Keep Wendy safe and in your care and so that one day we might also be with you and again see Wendy in the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen Amen Amen. Oh precious Jesus we comit dear Wendy to you. Keep her safe with you always and forever even though it is so difficult to let her go we know that Wendy will spend eternity with you dear Savior Jesus Christ because we know that Wendy loved you and so do we. Help us dear precious Jesus to give us comfort and wipe away our tears and be joyful to know that dear Wendy is with your now and forever. Thank you dear Jesus. Glory be to the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit. Thank you dear father God and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, for being our Savior. Our only hope is in you. Amen.

Erna and Tom, my sincerest symphathy goes to you and your family. I loved talking to Wendy because she was always a bright shining star. Wendy was always kind, honest, loving and just like an Angel. I believe that dear Wendy and Willis are both in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know that Wendy had a very deep heart for Jesus and she was a true servant of our Lord Savior. Wendy was a blessing to all who she touched the hearts of. We will never forget precious Wendy and now we can think of her in the palm of the hand of Jesus Christ always and forever. I will always miss her cheerful spirit. God Bless dear Wendy and Willis and all of you. Peace be with you.
