Bradley and Logan,
You do not know me but I was Wendy's big sister in Delta Zeta at Brenau Collage. I was so shocked to hear of her passing. One of the gals who graduated with me in 1966 sent me the article.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both. I haven't seen Wendy in 47 years but she always had a special spot in my heart.

While I did not have the good fortune of knowing Wendy as a mother and a wife, I was lucky enough to have her for a close friend in our childhoods. We had a wonderful time riding horses together---her father used to take us to a place out of town, (in his convertible Thunderbird!) to ride. And as we were next door neighbors, we climbed trees, rode bikes, and played many hours in the creek together. Her family had a swing-set in the backyard, and we spent hours swinging and playing on the monkey bars. She was a great playmate!
