Jim and Family,
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel. Although no words can really help ease the loss you bear, just know that you all are very close in every thought and prayer. Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength and always remember how much you are cared about and loved.
Jim and family – we are so sorry for your loss. Please know that we are thinking of you at this very difficult time. Wendy was a wonderful person and so full of life. This is a real shock to all of us that knew her. That smile and laugh of hers will be very very missed.
Much love to all of you

I wish we could be there with all of you. It just seems so unbelieveable and so uncomprehendable. I loved Wendy, she was always such a nut trying to be funny and always making a point. Always trying to be the strong one to take care of everyone else. She will be missed so very much.
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m so very sorry.

words can not express how we are feeling, for your loss. Such a wonderful person, and wonderful friend, taken away from this world much to soon. Think of all the happy times, and her incredible laugh, and her love for her family and friends. Please know that if there is anything that we can do for you, we are just a phone call away.
