I absolutely loved Wanda! When the kids were toddlers Wanda came over and played with them so I could shower, helped me out at the grocery store with them, etc. I can’t list all of the things she did for us. She would just pop in sometimes and visit. I enjoyed every minute of it! She was selfless and she cared deeply about others and their eternal salvation. She was pretty amazing! Sorry for your loss.
