Wanda and Vern are our neighbors. Tim and I will miss her very much. Our talks getting the mail and always a jar full cookies. Wanda was kind with the best hugs ever. RIP Wanda. Blessings and prayers for the entire family.
Wanda loved playing golf at the ANCC and being with her husband on many golf outings. When all of this was taken from her because of her illness, Vern spent endless hours loving and caring for her. They were a very special couple with such devotion to one another. God will now care for her, and her angel will watch over him as he tries to cope without his soulmate. God Bless you both. Betty and Kent Maxfield
