"Wendy was my aunt. We both have severe Migraines and bonded over that. She was an amazing person and cared so much about everyone else. I just wish she hadn't gotten so depressed and was kept a secret."

"I used to babysit Dustin, Devin and Taylor. I went to Texas with Wendy and the kids to babysit on vacation!! She was always the young fun mom. When I knew her she was such a fun loving person!!! She was always smiling and always laughing and having fun. Although we have drifted very far apart because her kids grew up and no longer needed a babysitter.. she moved away.. and so did I, her friends and family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for all of your loss!"
