My condolences to all the family. She will forever be missed. A beauty through and through. I love you Wanda.
To Wanda’s family, I am so sorry for your lost. Wanda was a very special lady and I came to love her. I loved her because of the close walk she shared with her Lord. Wanda loved every one and if there were more people like her this world would not be in the troubled times we are. She would say to you ‘love the Lord with all your sole,all your might ,and all your heart’ and love your neighbor as yourself. She lived her life that way. I knew if I needed a special prayer request Wanda was the person to talk to she would stop and pray on the spot for and with you. I’m so glad to have known her and I know I will see her again
and get to meet her sweet daughter that is having a great birthday ( in her new body) with her mom. I love you all.
Thoughts and prayers to the family. I have known Wanda for many years. Always a sweet, lovable , Christian Lady. She will be missed .
We are so sorry for your loss. Wanda was a special lady, and we will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and the family.
To all the family; My heart breaks that you’ve lost such a precious love here on this earth. When I met Wanda many years ago and renewed that friendship just a few years ago she was always the same sweet loving, caring, smiling, gentle lady she ever was. Yes as Elaine posted earlier today; her other daughter received the best birthday gift ever. But Ms. Wanda received what she has lived and longed for , for many years. To see the face of Jesus. Keep all your sweet memories close to your heart. Love and prayers for you all.
A precious lady, loving spirit and beautiful soul. Thankful for her eternal assurance. Enjoyed my time with Wanda in China. Prayers for all the family.

To each member of Wanda’s family, we offer our sincerest condolences. A special family for a most adoring lady. Such a shock to learn of Wanda’s illness and passing. She was loved by so many as well as my daughter. Stacie was so glad to visit with her at my Dad’s funeral last year. Wanda will be forever loved and remembered as a true friend and prayer warrior. Due to health issues, Mother and I will be unable to attend services. May you all be embraced by God’s love and promises as He welcomes Wanda home.

So sorry for your loss. Please know you are prayed for.
We are so sorry for your loss and are praying daily for all of your family. Wanda was truly an angel that everyone loved dearly. She lived the life of the Proverbs 31 woman. She had such a big heart and compassion for the elderly and homebound. What a ministry she did ‘behind the scenes’ . I have seen her take the alter flowers from church after the sunday services and divide it and make numerous arrangements and deliver them to the nursing homes and homebound individuals that she visited regularly. That was a gift she had to make everyone smile and give them the love and attention they needed. She and Bill worked diligently for the ‘White Christmas’ project, making sure the less fortunate had plenty of food at Christmas. She always was devoted to helping others and we are going to miss her dearly. Our loss is Heavens gain! We will be uplifting all of you in our prayers in the days ahead for strength and comfort. We Love you–Bill and Betty Byrd
We are sorry for your loss. But Christians will meet again!

I’m so very sorry….but she lived life to the fullest & got to spend her last days with her beautiful family who she loved so much. I have never met such a beautiful lady inside & out who was so loving. She was beautiful & there will never be anyone like her. She left behind a wonderful family who she was so proud of. Sorry again for your loss. I’m praying for all of you. Stay strong!!! Wanda – after getting comfortable up in heaven make sure you watch over us all!!! Love u very much!!!!
Your mom was a Godly lady. She loved her Lord, her family and her church. I know you will miss her greatly.

God bless to each one of you
