"Wendy was like another mom to all of Jeremy, Becky and Matt's friends. She always called me son when I seen her. Always greeting with a big hug and smile. So many memories over the almost 30 years I was honored to know her. Thank you to Jeremy, Becky and Matt for letting me in your lives to know Momma Wendy! My deepest sympathy to all of you. I will miss her! Danno"
